How did you pin it? If I pin the yast software application, it can be executed. Do you have a custom desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ ?
"Do you have a custom desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ ?" No I have three machines with tumbleweed, one with a new installation and two others that have been updated. The problem only occurs on the updated ones. On one of these, I've created a new user, and the problem also occurs with him.
I've just checked with another Yast module, Yast Partitioner, and it produces the same result. But not with Yast.

When I edit the Yast Software launcher, I see that it points to /home/thierry/.local/share/applications instead of /usr/share/applications, and the owner is me instead of root (normal since it points to my personal folder). New image attachments
`ls -l ~/.local/share/applications/` please

(In reply to Thierry Leroy from comment #8) > total 24 > -rwxr--r-- 1 thierry thierry 588 20 mars 19:32 > org.opensuse.yast.Packager.desktop there it is, try deleting this file then run `kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental` to rebuild the cache you can also check the other .desktop files with `grep Exec ~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop` to see if they're different from the system ones
I've done this, the first delete command does change the location and owner of the menu entry, the second cache rebuild command doesn't seem to do anything. I pin and I get the same result as before.
Sorry, but things have improved. The pinned icon still opens a ruby.ruby3.3 text file, but it no longer sends an entry to /Home/.local/share/applications, and editing the Yast Software entry in the menu now shows that it does point to /usr/share/applications and that its owner is root.
Pinning Yast Software from the Task Manager doesn't work. If you pin from the application launcher, it does. TW 20230328
