did you try not using yast. open terminal and type without qouotes "you install libtermcap.so" i think that is the command if i remember right. see if that works for you since you cant pull it from grafical.

Do you have the install disk?

If you have it your problem is 80% solved.
Just boot from the install CD / DVD, select "update", follow on until you come to the package selection section, search for the libtermcap package, select it and go on with the process. Once done, you will be able to reboot with everything (hopefully) in place.
