Hi all my package management tools isn't working. it goes through the "processing header.." and then does something else and then closes without doing anything (when i try to install new packages) i tried opening it from the console i get the same thing, with few error messages and warnings in the consloe.

what exactly are you trying to do? i always prefer use the xterm, so try with the rpm command, rpm -i to install a package, rpm -e to erase, rpm -Uvh to upgrade, rpm -qa to view what packages are installed,
