Now I finally got what it's about: You installed the -33 kernel and YaST downloaded and installed the same kernel again. The only way I can imagine this not being a bug is that the "rpm -i" has been done while YaST was already running. That way YaST won't notice the change because it reads the rpmdb on startup and doesn't lock it. You might want to file a bug about this. Of course you will attach the logfiles. > I don't care what's recommended. I used a method offered. If it's > offered, it needs testing.

A general hint: Posting that to this list without the Bugzilla ID doesn't really bring the community any further. Writing something like "I'll switch to Mandriva" is very demotivating because it basically means that the bug doesn't need to be fixed because the only user annoyed by it doesn't use the product anyway. This is very counter-productive. You might, instead, try to be cooperative, i.e. show that you're still interested in the bug being solved by moving it to the next product and/or trying to fix it yourself and attaching a patch or a pointer into the right direction. E.g. by looking at source packages of other distributions where it works, finding out the difference and telling the assignee about it. Without knowing the Bugzilla ID, I can unfortunately only guess that the engineer who is responsible for your bug has a long list of more important bugs to solve that affect more people and you can't see that list because the engineers responsible for openSUSE are responsible for other products as well which are not public. Might be considered frustrating, but at some point every community member has to learn that there are bugs which will never be fixed. This is common to all open source projects. I just tried to find a 2 years old, unfixed bug in Mandriva's Bugzilla and of course it was a piece of cake finding one. Btw. I know that it's about #141443 because it's the only one you have reported against 10.0 that is still open. In that case it's really unfortunate, but as long as an engineer is unable to reproduce it, it's simply impossible to get it fixed.
