I did a full install of 9.0 Professional a few months back. I tried
to upgrade that system and it completely failed, requiring me to
restore the entire system from backups.
I did have to resolve a package conflict by hand. I chose to
"downgrade" ethereal to some suggested version.
After the upgrade, yast2 gave me the error message "These Packages
returned an Error", and in the window was a *large* number of
packages. rsh, at, bind, yast2-core, ...
The only option at this point was "OK", so I clicked it.
Then, the installer said "creating initrd... (62%)" and hung there. I
went to a console and did a "ps ax" and there was nothing running. I
waited for 10+ minutes. I noticed the cursor was a pointer (instead
of the spinning thing that indicates "thinking") so I selected
"Accept", at which point yast2 crashed.
Upon rebooting the system, it was still running the old kernel, and
many things did not work.
I tried the upgrade again, this time doing the "repair". After
checking all disks, it reported that "linux was not found".
I tried the entire upgrade process again, upgrading the now partially
installed 9.1. This time I chose to uninstall ethereal instead of
downgrade, when I got the package conflict, and I got a smaller list
of package errors, though yast2-core still there.
In one of the consoles, both times I tried the upgrade, I saw the
error message:
scr: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libycp.so.2:
undefined symbol: _ZN9Y2Logging14setLogfileNameEPKc
I understand that this shared library lives in the yast2-core package.
Ideas?
