Yast/Yast2 Problem

[Paul R Schmidtbleicher]

Thanks for info on gstreamer - will follow your advice next upgrade

Now, after either the last or earlier upgrade Yast and Yast2 is absent -
"Cannot excute command /sbin/yast2" on the enter password dialogue.
I used super Dolphin to check /sbin/yast and /sbin/yast2 and both are
listed at 0 bytes (i.e. gone!)

Given me the command to get back Yast and Yast2, Please

Paul

Hi Paul
So your repos are all good an enabled?

I would use zypper to search for the installed yast2 packages and then
force a re-install.

zypper se -i yast2

zypper in -f yast2 yast2-control-center* yast2-ycp-ui-bindings
zypper in -f -t pattern yast2_basis yast2_desktop

THANK YOU Malcolm!
I entered each of the three commands
On the first one a whole page+ turned up
On the second command a lot of programs "ruby2.7**" were to be
removed and new "ruby3.1***" installed along with Yast2
On the third command 2 packages were reinstalled

BOTTOM LINE: Yast2 now working fine - Thankyou
I'm 75 and still learning - but loving it!

Hi Paul
Good deal, just remember always zypper -vvv dup (the three v's add
verbosity) and should give you more information on what is going on.
Yes the ruby update caused one issue here with vagrant-libvirt, but got
that sorted fairly quick.
