YAST pkg install failure
Dear SuSE list,
While using yast 1.09.2 to install new rpm's to a
SuSE 7.1 system, yast listed errors for 10 of the
packages. The error msg is "can't get PREIN for
KDEBASE_2.1.1-15.rpm" There are 9 more instances of
the same msg on the other 9 packages. YAST offered
no further info nor any way to determine the cause.
These packages were direct from the SuSE FTP site.
Now KDE fails to startup and X hangs on the
background display.
Can anyone help?

Sorry I can't help but I can quote another example of the above behaviour. When I downloaded rpm's and saved them to a Windows FAT partition I had the PREIN message when I tried to use Yast1 to install. Moved them to /home/stu and they installed no problem. Did you do the same? Stu
