http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/...8.23-7.i586.rpm (zypper)

Open a shell and su to root

cd to the folder you put them in

rpm -e boost-1.33.1-108.2 (which erases the wonderfully and thoroughly
tested
package that caused the mess)
rpm -ivh *.*

Right click on the opensuse updater and click check now and all should
be back
to normal

Did what you described above;

Had to delete the -doc and -devel rpms of boost before boost would delete.

After everything worked fine but I got the following message about
permissions:

rpm -ivh *.*

Finished.


YaST appears to be working fine now. Did not do anything to fix permissions.

Thanks for posting this fix. I guarantee I will not install a fix for boost
until I'm sure it works.

Thanks again for your help!!!!!
