Description Jiri Dluhos 2006-03-06 15:58:46 UTC

After adding Packman and Guru as installation sources, YaST2 package installation module started to crash right after starting, printing the following message to the console:

-----------------------------

Command: /sbin/yast2 sw_single &
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'zypp::Exception'
  what():  Media Exception
/sbin/yast2: line 207:  7412 Aborted                 $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" qt "$Y2_GEOMETRY" $Y2QT_ARGS

-----------------------------

Interestingly, the text version of YaST2 works normally.

Note that as Packman nor Guru have packages for 10.1, I used the 10.0 directory. However, I have not installed any packages from these sources, I have just added them as package repositories.

Please find the attached YaST2 log.

Reassigned to somebody with yast2/libzypp knowledge...

Fixed. The source implementation on beta 6 had some of the path names defined in the content file hardcoded. ftp.gwdg.de sources have a 'nonstandard' layout, that's why they failed.
