An update introducing binary incompatibility has been released. Please be patient, a new patch is on the way

Forgot to mention the same (don't) work in update module. 
About duplicate bug - this is not writing segfault. It is exception (?).
Comment 3 Katarina Machalkova 2010-01-12 14:39:27 UTC 
Ah. Sorry, I was too hasty. Didn't notice you're running openSUSE 11.1

(dobra prezdivka, btw :P)
Comment 4 Katarina Machalkova 2010-01-12 14:45:05 UTC 
So - which updates did you install? ('rpm -q --changelog yast2-ncurses | head' will tell)

It may or may not be a different symptom of the binary incompatibility introduced by paging fix (bug #550733). Need to verify it ...
Comment 5 Tomas Jedno 2010-01-12 15:16:42 UTC 
command gives output:

* Fri Dec 18 2009 ma@suse.de
- Work around 32768 lines limit in ncurses table. (bnc #550733)
- V 2.17.17

* Tue Mar 31 2009 gs@suse.de
- Bugfix for IntField widget: draw the value correctly (was hidden
  in some cases, e.g. in Image Creator, bnc #488757)
- V 2.17.16

* Wed Mar 11 2009 gs@suse.de

(mam celou sbirku, to by (ste|jsi) se divila :)
Comment 6 Katarina Machalkova 2010-01-13 09:27:26 UTC 
Duplicating un-duplicate. Rebuilding yast2-ncurses-pkg against updated yast2-ncurses resolves the problem (unlike 11.2, 11.1 doesn't crash initially, but the reason for the failure is the same - binary incompatibility of shared libs)

Please install the latest update, it has been released last night.
