Hi Bruce I same issue with ZMD - in fact how it will not run even if I tell it to. I am in a similar situation of and upgrade from.
Nothing is gong to fix ZMD and I have many bug reports in on it displaying >nul pointer references With a bit of luck it will be fixed with 10.3 (not Likely) ZMD is so intertwined with both the actual service and the RPM packet manager and lets hope its the package manager with the issue You could try to rebuilt the RPM package manager with root access execute rpm --rebuilddb It takes a while to run and if unsuccessful there is nil output on console Scott Bruce Smith wrote: > I'm having problems with zmd hanging on three different SuSE 10.2 > boxes.
