[opensuse] 11.0 note - do NOT update zlib - bad things will happen
Guys, Just a note for the few 11.0 boxes left out there. If you are updating your box with some of the newer packages in build service, etc... do NOT update zlib, zlib-32bit and zlib-devel to 1.2.5 from 1.2.3 -- it will break just about everything yast and gtk related (sw_single, firefox, thunderbird, gnome, etc..) If you are bitten by this mistake, just grab the 1.2.3 packages from the install dvd and reinstall with rpm or 'zypper in -f -r <discontinued-oss-repo>'. The install/downgrade of zlib-devel will fail after the downgrade of zlib and zlib-32bit on 64 bit boxes due to the broken link /lib64/libz.so.1 still pointing to 1.2.5. Just fix the broken link so that libz.so.1 is linked to libz.so.1.2.3 again and then install zlib-devel. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

64-bit I pulled zlib from /Archiving/SLE_11/ which provided a lot of excellent updates to compression libs and apps. All worked great except for zlib. First indication of a problems was yast sw_single exploding with the following: YaST got signal 11 at YCP file XML.ycp:3 /sbin/yast2: line 421: 7746 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY At first I thought I had pulled in an incompatible Qt library, but then I found the following which pointed to libz and the solution: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2010-04/msg04650.html -- David C.
