Error while creating client module sw_single

eveningsky339 · 05-14-2010, 02:51 PM

Yast2 appears to be broken. Whenever I open the YaST control center and attempt to install new software, I am greeted with this error message. When I click on the "Install New Software" shortcut from the start menu, nothing happens.

I researched this error message and found that apparently I can install software via Zypper, but all the commands to enter in the terminal result in a message about an unrecognized command.

OpenSUSE 11.2 64-bit

I think http://forums.opensuse.org/get-help-...sw_single.html should help ... now, I need to know exactly which commands you entered and the output (error messages). Thanks!

zypper rm yast*

Code:

zypper: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.619: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ok, run

Code:

ldd `which zipper`

For each so file where you get Not Found, you will have to get the rpm. Apparently, you already need libzypp.so, but lets make sure it's the only one.
If libzypp is the only one, get it here: libzypp.so.619

Did you want me to run

Code:

ldd 'which zipper'

verbatim? Or substitute something into the quotations? Either way, here's the output of that command:

Code:

ldd: ./which zipper: No such file or directory

I got ahold of libzypp.so.619 rpm, but I can't do anything with it because Install Software isn't working.

There have been a few threads dealing with this problem lately. This thread discusses the same issue and may offer a solution for you:
