It seems like a bug in perl-Crypt-SmbHash

It is possible that this perl module is not used by anyone else than yast2-users (via the plugins from yast2-samba-server).

We're not even sure if the samba plugin still works as it was originally intended. Maybe samba team could take a look into the issue?

Interestingly, if I open the "users" as root (the first attempt to install the new) has been successfully opened, the window from user dies

now use open its 13.2 beta1

Bye by M.A.

I experienced a similar crash upto 13.2 Beta1, but for me it was the Kerberos plugin:

But after upgrading the system to latest Factory it works fine now.

As I don't see anything wrong neither in SmbHash.pm line 14 nor Symbol.pm line 81 (not even in the 13.2 Beta1 packages), this might have been a perl bug. And indeed downgrading perl to the packges in 13.2 Beta1 makes it crash again.
It seems that it fails to parse the version number if the current locale doesn't use '.' as decimal point.
So running YaST with english locale helps as well (I just tried) and might be the difference between your user account and root.
E.g. with "kdesu LANG=C /sbin/yast2".

it is true, if I launch the command "kdesu LANG=C /sbin /yast2" everything works fine


my user uses the language "Italian"

with opensuse 13.2 Beta 2 the problem is resolved!

now yast2 users work! :)

Indeed, it is mentioned in man perldelta for perl 5.20.1:

 ·   version has been upgraded from version 0.9908 to 0.9909.

 External libraries and Perl may have different ideas of what the locale is.  This is problematic when parsing version strings if the locale's numeric separator has been changed.  Version parsing has been patched to ensure it handles the locales correctly.  [perl #121930] <https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=121930>
