Hi, all. Somehow I've messed something up along the way and I suspect I've got some incompatible libs installed somewhere.

Every time YaST2 Control Centre tries to load a module I get xmessage popping up with an error message:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file Wizard.ycp:341 /sbin/yast2: line 421: 15125 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

This is occurring under KDE3, KDE4 and Gnome. The last time I saw this it was related to incompatible qt libs but I'm not sure if this is the case this time. (See - that's what I get for playing around with factory repositories etc...some people never learn ;-) ).

Anyone got any ideas?

You can see if it's related to GUI library issues by running the character-mode version. You'll get that if you're outside a GUI context completely, of course (virtual console, SSH session, etc.). To force it from a terminal emulator in an X session, just suppress the DISPLAY variable:

% DISPLAY= yast2

I can run the ncurses version of YaST within Konsole (or from a virtual console) - that works fine. YaST2, however dies with a message "Couldn't load plug-in ncurses-pkg."

I think I've properly hosed it this time. Nevertheless, I can still run YaST in a terminal and I can still install stuff via the zypper cli so all is not lost. It would be nice to know what I screwed up and how to fix it (and how not to do it again).
