In the course of playing around with Evolution, adding and removing things, etc. yast2 has become partially broken. If I attempt to do anything related to adding or removing packages, it just freezes up. I can do anything with services, hardware, etc. with no problems. What could be wrong? I'm thinking something might be damaged with respect to the rpm database? If so, can it be repaired? Thanks - Dan

You could try rebuilding the database. # rpm --rebuilddb -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Well, that helped somewhat. Now, I start yast2, click on Add/Remove Software, and it starts: then a dialog starts that says "Checking Dependecies" ??? I haven't even selected anything to add or remove... The dialog box stays there... window is now frozen. It's process is now sucking up 95% of the CPU.... Any other ideas? I'll have to kill -9 it to get it to stop. Thanks- Dan
