You could try, as root: rpm --rebuilddb

Good luck!

I would leave YAST to repaire the conflicts. I had the same almost every time after some online upgrading.

Try refreshing your installation sources and then upgrade again using YAST.

I cant because Yast recommends me to remove tones of packages to fix the problem and not to install the missing ones... So i need other suggestions plz

Boot with the Suse install cd/dvd. When it comes to "new installation" select "other". Then "repair installed system". There where will be an option to "verify installed base packages" or similar. Select this. Hopefully Yast will iron out your dependency issues and you can then reboot and start a new online update.

That is shure. Yast will repair even if t+it will remove / reinstall 1GB of the system. It did once for me. Almost everything was reinstalled - as a new install.
