When you hit the 1-click, they get installed and break software management...
In other words, you would need YaST from Factory that works with new Qt4 libs.

Ok let's see if we can fix this. The bug with the 1-click-install for kde43beta1 may just be it failure to add factory-oss and upgrade yast when the qt45 libs are pulled in. So:
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ factory-oss
zypper ref -r factory-oss
zypper in -r factory-oss yast2
BINGO!
Problem solved. Yast SW Management now seems to be OK. I'll add a few packages and report back if there are further problems.
Unfortunately it hasn't worked for me - Yast2 is still just as broken as before with exactly the same error messages. I think I'm still missing a critical piece here somewhere - I have the qt 4.5.2 devel snapshots installed so maybe that is just one version too far even for factory-oss packages...
I'll see about downgrading to qt 4.5.1 and see if that helps. The y2log file shows that yast2 can't load libQtGui.so.4 (which is a symlink to libQtGui.so.4.5.2) so that is possibly a clue...
Normal service has been returned - Yast2 is back on air :-). After much screwing around with zypper (and failing) I resorted to the tried and true rpm -Uvh --oldpackage <packages> and downgraded libqt4 (and associated packages/dependants) to 4.5.1, re-ran yast2 in ncurses mode to update the yast2 packages to the latest in factory-oss and it all works again :-). Thanks David and Rajko. So, what is the lesson to be learned from this? Don't play around with beta software and factory repositories unless you're prepared to spend time fixing it when it breaks (which is actually really good learning time...). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ===================================================
