I thought that I would include a few thoughts on the Suse 10.1 struggle to get the updater functions working. By now everyone knows about the file fixes on the Suse web site: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/10.1-x86_64/ ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/10.1-i386/ I have only used Suse Linux casually for about 18 months and I could not figure out how to use any of the more automated ways to install these updates because of all of the related dependencies on developer libraries. In the end, I had to fall back on the Genghis Khan brute force method of software install. I downloaded all of these files into a subdirectory and one by one manually typed in the rpm commands to install them [Snip]
Why not just add ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.1-packagemanagement-update-test/ as a repository in yast. No dependencies issues for me at least... -- Regards Kenneth Aar
