Hi, Does anyone understand these messages? I have not found anything online yet for the last message '[YCP] Report.ycp:496 There was an error in the repository initialization. Some help would be appreciated. Thank you, Bruce. On Monday 31 January 2011 13:36:29 Bruce Samhaber wrote:

Hi,

When "Starting the Software Manager" during the 'Load Configured Repositories' stage the following message appears.

Warning There was an error in the repository initialization.

The software Manager window then loads. Doing a 'Refresh all Repositories' is successful.

After any kind of a change and selecting 'Accept' the Software Manager window disappears and the following Error message appears. No software is installed.

This error message also appears after other Yast2 tasks, 'Network Settings', 'Hostnames' however, with these the changes do take effect.

Any idea what's wrong here?
