[lug] Suse yast2 doesn't start

[Steve Sullivan]

Hi Ferdinand,

Thanks for the note.  I tried that, and got
	   No such client module allexport

Looking at /var/log/YaST2/y2log I find ...

2003-12-30 14:49:42 <3> helix(6221) [liby2] genericfrontend.cc(print_error):430
No such client module allexport

Yet when I logout, login as root, and try yast it works.  Searching yast
for allexport returns zip.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Steve
