Re: Yast2 won't refresh - help needed

I am absolutely brand-spanking new to linux - Suse 10/Gnome
desktop/Yast2.  The free version from Novell.

I have been trying to install clamav and clamtk rpms for the past couple
of days - no joy.

There is a folder called Downloads in my Home folder where these
programs are located.  I clicked the 'use directory as a source with
Yast' button and get the OK that it's a recognized Yast directory.

But, when I click the 'install package with Yast' button, when Yast
finally opens, a pop-up stating 'installation source not refreshed' pops
up.  When I open the Yast2 Installation Source and click the Edit /
Refresh button, I get the same 'installation source not refreshed'
popup.

I've done a Suse installation repair and everything is fine.

This has problem has me stumped.

Any assistance you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Joe



Just go with Konqueror to that ditectory, click on the rpm and press "Install with Yast" I bet it works like you never seen before.
