The error message points to package bindings:

2010-02-16 17:33:03 <3> linux-a3om(17643) [Pkg] Source_Load.cc(SourceStartCache):559 Error in SourceStartCache: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid


Lado, could you, please, have a look?

2010-02-16 17:56:55 <5> linux-a3om(17643) [Pkg] Y2PkgFunction.cc(evaluateCall):117 Caught an unhandled exception: locale::facet
::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

That means the exception was caught at the very top of pkg-bindings which catches all unhandled exceptions which would otherwise cause a crash.

Pkg-bindings do not use std::locale at all, they use zypp and satsolver objects (zypp::Locale, zypp::LocaleSet, zypp::sat::LocaleSupport) so I assume the bug is in libzypp (maybe sat solver or even glibc?).

Ahmed, what is your current locale? (Run command 'locale'.)
As a workaround you could try setting 'LANG=C' locale before starting Yast.

Can't investigate without info.
