Problems With YOU After Updating to 7.3

Support knowledgebase (swiegra_update.inf)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 7.3

Symptom

Subequent to an update to SuSE Linux 7.3, the YaST Online Update (YOU) Modul in Yast2 still refers to the FTP update directory of the previously installed version.

Cause

The cause is an unmodified entry in the file /var/lib/YaST/update.inf

Solution

Open the file /var/lib/YaST/update.inf with your favorite editor, e.g.:

mcedit /var/lib/YaST/update.inf

Search in the file for the lines

Basesystem: SuSE-Linux-full-i386-7.2.0#0
Distribution_Version:7.2.0

and change them to

Basesystem: SuSE-Linux-full-i386-7.3.0#0
Distribution_Version:7.3.0

If you update from a version other than 7.2, you will obviously see the respective version number under Basesystem and Distribution_Version.
