Thanks for this post! I hadn’t upgraded my system for a while and recently tried to upgrade a suse 9.0 to suse 10.0. Of course I ran into the problems that you described. I thought I was losing it for a while until I figured out what was going on. I wouldn’t have known how to fix the problem though, so thank you. I too believe that suse is/has been going down hill, which is unfortunate because I mostly like the distro. I am waiting for, and hoping that, the debian etch release in december will be worthy of becoming my distro of choice!

See, there’s only one kind of bug that *really* nags me: the one I can’t find a fix for. These I actually do report as you can check with the PHP project and others. In addition, my experiences with SUSE fixing any bugs I reported (personally to the product managers back then) aren’t exactly what I would call encouraging. Instead they left me with a feeling of things being deliberately broken by design. You may find some examples by searching for “SUSE Linux” on this very web site. This behaviour of SUSE may have changed now and if it has, I sincerely apologize. I just didn’t feel like reporting yet another problem that from my experience won’t get fixed anyway.

Thank you so very much for this enlightening report.
Of course, _if_ you had notified someone e.g. via SUSEs (nowadays Novells) bugzilla about this, someone there could have done something about it.

I, for one. As this bugzilla would have shown up on my screen.

Didn’t we even have a wiki for this sort of thing?
I seem to remember something when the started openSUSE …

Seriously, if you have something which _really_ nags you just open a bugzilla. That help us (and, eventually, even you) far better. THX.
