Greets;
Ive noticed a very strange behaviour with Yast post updating to KDE3.3 suse rpms. All aspects of yast remain functional except "install software". If this is run the machine goes into complete lock-up in a few seconds after yast starts scanning what software has been installed. All efforts to resolve this (rebuilding the db etc etc) are fruitless. This behaviour started immediately post ugrading KDE by pointing yast to the suppplementary (and associated path) KDE rpms (exact path varies of course). The only other addition to the system was running an automated update shortly their after.
Anyone have any ideas on what is going on here or how to repair this behaviour other then removing the SuSE supplied KDE rpms for 9.1? Yast remains broken on for adding and removing applications. All other aspects remain functional.
Works for me. Did you try removing the supplementary installation source? Maybe it's trying (unsuccessfully) to connect, and locking up while it's waiting for a timeout? If that's not it, do you get anything interesting in /var/log/YaST2/y2log ?
