this mean one cannot use Yast anymore to install its own non-SuSE rpm´s?
On ALL systems that I've installed 10.1 on, Yast WON'T install any software not listed as a site in Yast. That is, a downloaded rpm from "whereever," can't be installed via Yast.
For that there is kpackage then you can install one at a time. for more complicated things such as the latest OOo I used rpm -Uvh
What am I not understanding in your complaint? I've installed every one of my "wherever" rpm's (Eagle, qcad, eclipse, etc.) by downloading it, then clicking on it in Konqueror, which gives me the option to "install with YAST". It works every time.
I just wish the updater would get fixed, so I can keep up with the security updates as I used to.

Sorry, all. I have installed several rpm's via Konqueror, including Acroread and eclipse. But I had not gotten around to using eagle on 10.1 until last night, and found I had not installed it yet. Now, I am completely unable to make YAST, even through Konqueror, install the Eagle rpm. I finally had to use kpackage.
Now, to dig through the manuals and find out again how to update the databases so 10.1 knows I have it.

Have you done all of the package management updates for 10.1? See 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/ It is a pain but you have to install these manually one by one in a super user window with: rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps filename.rpm After that Yast should be fine.
