[opensuse] I wish I would get YAST (back) for Christmas
See my original post below - YAST & YOU all GUIs, incl. ncurses are gone - in the meantime I see no other way than to reinstall, if Santa Claus does not point me in the right direction to solve this: ----- Original Message from Matt T. Saturday 08 December 2007 ---------- Subject: [opensuse] Yast shows "Error while creating client module ..." after YOU yesterday Date: Saturday 08 December 2007 From: "Matt T." <Matt@boons.net> To: opensuse@opensuse.org Yesterday I did run an almost full YOU (OpenSuse 10.3 x86_64), accepting all preselected updates, including the kernel update (2.6.22.13-0.3-default). After that yast only starts the first window, the menu, listing the modules available. Clicking on one of them results in a little pop up window saying "Error while creating client module online_update" etc, for any module. The same happens if I try to run the modules directly in konsole: # you Error while creating client module online_update # /sbin/yast2 online_update Error while creating client module online_update # /sbin/yast2 sw_single Error while creating client module sw_single (No, this time there is not any message about "Error loading language plugin" (btdt). But to be sure here is what is installed: # rpm -q boost libzypp zypper boost-1.33.1-108 libzypp-4.1.1-5 zypper-0.9.1-7 ) I remember that there was a yast update in the security updates, but not which one (and I cannot run it again ... see above) In order to fix it I used smart to update all yast2 modules with -------------------------------- # smart upgrade 'yast2*' Loading cache...

I searched the list up and down, and also google does not help, so now I'm stuck and could use some help.

If you want to do a repair in 10.3 you will need to get the repair CD from: ftp://beta.suse.com/private/10.3-repair-mini -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, Jdd and Ken, downloading that 200MB mini iso now. I'm somewhat sceptical though, due to the fact that I have lots of updates on that box, but it's certainly worth a try.

Thanks Carlos, that was the hint I needed. There had been 3 more V 2.16 packages lurking around, and after downgrading them and their dependencies to yast 2.15 Yast was happy and back. The reason for these yast 2.16 packages sneaking in was a forgotten "factoy" installation source ... my own fault ... 2nd time that hits me ...x@#&%! $@(*#$% -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
