From today on we provide an important patch for the package management. It contains various bug fixes and performance improvements for YaST and Zen updater. We recommend to install this patch with YaST Online Update (YOU). For that please start YaST manually through the menu and use the 'Online Update' module. This version still lacks patch rpm support which will be delivered with an upcoming update. We regret any inconvenience you experienced so far. We consider this update a large step forward and will continue improving our product constantly. Special thanks to our openSUSE community members and their efforts helping us to deliver this update. Michael Loeffler Adrian Schroeter From the SuSE Mailing Lists It has to be said that the SuSE developers have really screwed up the package management system in 10.1. There was nothing wrong with the update program in 10.0 so I really don't understand why they felt the need to change it?
