I have read all the email regarding problems with YAST. I have managed to update installing / using a command line utility which can update / add repositories. Unfortunately, I still cannot open YAST. Worked fine in 10.0. Upgraded to 10.1 and, it wouldn't open. As you know, YAST does a lot of things besides just package management so it would be cool if I could actually get into it. Sigh. Anyone have any ideas. Would be most grateful.
Have you installed the update files in either: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/10.1-x86_64/ or ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/10.1-i386/ There are several ways to get them in. I had to manually do it via the command line in a super user window with rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps filename.rpm and do it individually for each file until all had finished. If you have another updating utility like apt get or smart, you can do this as well but the programs will ask for dependencies that you may or may not have. Everything works after the forcible install. Earlier messages on the system cover how other people handled it as well. Good luck Ralph Ellis
