    Check the installation source in yast:
    Software -> Change Source of Installation (Check for version 9.2 and remove
    any previous sources)

    "rpm --rebuilddb" on the command line. That should rebuild the rpm database.

    Fire up yast and check again for missing and clashing packages.

    Also you can check the packages "amavisd-new" in yast. The button
    [Information] -> [Package Relations] will give you a list of the required
    packages. The list is quite long. I suggest you rebuild the rpm database,
    check if you can now detect missing dependencies in the system and then
    reinstall amavisd-new.
    There are a LOT of dependencies!!

    Haven't seen such a button but I am still using Suse 9.1 only as a server
    installation via ssh.

    Good luck! I would hate to reinstall my system from scratch. Are there any
    more buggy services on your system, critical installations you need to
    access continuously?
