Looking at /sbin/yast2, it gets some functions from /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/yast2-funcs. In there is a check that generates that message: /usr/bin/ldd "$Y2_NCURSES" | grep --quiet "=> not found" where Y2_NCURSES=$plugindir/libpy2ncurses.so.2 and plugindir=/usr/lib64/YaST2/plugin So, if you execute /usr/bin/ldd /usr/lib64/YaST2/plugin/libpy2ncurses.so.2 | grep --quiet "=> not found" That will tell you what shared library is missing. From there, you should be able to figure what package is missing (hopefully).
