This bug didn't bite me again as I didn't updated yet, but there was once the same bug that was deleting libbz2 that wasn't loaded in memory before deletion, rendering anything including rpm useless. The present applet is more annoyance than help with present status of underlaying software. In 10.2 opensuseupdater was what you are looking for. It just checked is there any updates and if you wanted to install them it will run YOU (YaST Online Update) module. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
