Bug 299616

I tried installing perl-tk, via yast, on opensuse 10.3 beta 1, from OSS-factory.  I got a series of "media exception" errors, and it didn't install.  I cleaned out the zypper cahce in /var/cache, and got the same problem.

I can't re-construct the exact details, but I kept trying to install, both from a user acct and logged in as root directly.  Now, the state of my system is when you run yast, it lists perl-tk as not being installed.  When I try to install it, yast "instantly" finishes installing, but when I restart yast, perl-tk is still listed as not installed.  I don't know how exactly to determine if perl-tk is really installed; suffice it to say from the command-line trying to complete perl gives me perl (which runs) and a few others, but nothing that's obviously part of perl-tk.

I'm sorry I'm not more proficient at using yast.  I came across this problem when trying to install texlive, and I isolated the offending package to perl-tk.

Also, I noticed perl-tk is listed as being on version 804.  That's even higher than emacs!  Perhaps it should be 8.04?

Thanks,
