I posted this to alt.os.linux.suse and alt.linux.suse and did not receive any answer. (But remarks from two people having apparently the same problem.) Maybe here someone can help. Two days ago I was trying to update Suse 10.1 (where is this information hidden, Yast2 seems to be versionless!) after I had determined that my ghostscript was out of date. Yast2 -> YOU -> selecting a few checkboxes, continue -> update runs. When I returned later, I saw a dialog box indicating a restart shall be commencing. Ok'd, after which YOU starts again (?). Again selecting a few checkboxes, continue -> update runs. When I returned later I see that the console is full whith these error messages: /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2base: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/YaST2/plugin/libpy2Pkg.so.2: undefined symbol: _ZN4zypp13SourceManager7restoreENS_10filesystem8PathnameEbRKSsS4_ I was able to kill Yast2. golem:~ # ps -aef | grep yast root 10197 1 0 08:58 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/bash /sbin/yast2 online_update golem:~ # kill 10197 Well, I can now neither install nor deinstall with Yast2. Yast(1) seems to call the same internal software, because I receive the same hang-up, but on the console so I can't read the error messages. Does anybody know how to get out of this mess? Possibly with the Boot-CD and then with a new installation, but I was thinking of a less dire measure. (BTW, I did not select the current kernel update.) golem:~ # uname -a Linux golem 2.6.16.13-4-default #1 Wed May 3 04:53:23 UTC 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Michael -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
