I posted some earlier messages about the problem I had running Yast and attempting to install a .rpm package from an existing directory. The message I got was "could not find the installation directory", which confused me greatly because the directory was right there. The actual problem was that the *contents* of the directory weren't what Yast was expecting, namely, something that resembled an installation CD. This error message really ought to be replaced by a more informative one.
