Andreas,
Previously all updates had been done through YAST. I do have all the latest version of libzypp and yast2-packager as listed in the x86_64 directory.
What about the noarch directory? You need those as well.
I notice that there are some rpm packages in the noarch directory related to yast that are later than what I have. Should I make sure that all the noarch packages are also the latest?
Yes, exactly.

Thank you very much. I installed all the latest packages from the noarach and x86_64 directories that related to yast and libzypp. Now YAST works as it should. The Online Update, Software Management, and Installation Source modules all work. The only thing that doesn't work is zen-updater. It always fails with the following error System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object in <0x003d9> Novell.Zenworks.Gui.ZenTrayIcon:CheckUpdatesLoop () in (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.MulticastDelegate:invoke_void () but I have already raised that problem in a different message, although no solution yet.
