Description Prashanth K S 2008-09-14 16:57:26 UTC

Steps to reproduce: 
1) I am running the 'Install Software' tool and I have the list of packages that I can install.
2) I open another instance of the YAST package installer. In my case, I opened the 1-click-install for installing gnome codecs.
3) I choose the packages to install and also ask to add the included repositories to my list of repositories. 

Now since YAST is already open in the first session, the second session is unable to update the repositories. So it gives an error. Even after I close the first session and click on 'retry', it keeps giving the error that it is unable to read the repository. The next time I close both and retry the 1-click-install it works perfectly without any problems.

Looks like some shared memory cleanup problems.

Best Regards,
Prashanth.

You should never run multiply yast instances in parallel, that is an unsupported scenario.
