Help Uninstalling Packages that were Installed Today
Hello All,

SuSE 11 SP3 (*3.0.101-0.47.71-default, x86_64)

I was attempting to install a MySQL update on a web server we use for internal stuff within the network. Since the OS didn't come with an update in the pre-installed repos, I went to MySQL's site and found a Repo for my OS version at the link below.

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/repo/suse/

So after I added the Repo and then went into YaST Software Manager, selected to install the updated mysql package (*to 5.6). Doing this selected the current version for removal. So that was fine. However, it also installed a bunch of other packages that I never selected.

I'm guessing maybe these packages were already selected when I opened Software Manager, probably because they were newer versions then the current installed versions.

Here is a list of ALL packages installed today:
Code:
# rpm -qa --last | grep -i 'Mon 18 Jan 2016'

During the installation a few things had popped-up with "symbol errors...". I didn't get to copy/paste those errors from the popup but I did find them in the y2log file.

.
After the installations completed I VNC'ed to the server, but I was unable to start anything on the desktop. Couldn't open a terminal or a folder, etc... So I exited from VNC and SSH'ed in and ran
Code:
# service xdm restart
Shutting down service gdm                        done
Starting service gdm  /usr/sbin/gdm: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/gio/modules/libgiognutls.so: undefined symbol: g_tls_backend_get_type
startproc:  exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/gdm: 127
        failed

.
Now, it seems that nothing GUI related will start. If I try to start something like Gedit for example, over SSH (*which has been working just fine up until this morning) I get the following error.
Code:
# gedit
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomesegvhandler": libgnomesegvhandler.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/gio/modules/libgiognutls.so: undefined symbol: g_tls_backend_get_type

.
So obviously something that was installed in that list at the top of the post broke my display/window manager (*GDM). I was going to start uninstalling some of those packages, but I wasn't sure which one could be causing the issue.

I already uninstalled "gsettings-backend-dconf", because I had found a similar forum related to the same error, and they said removing that packages fixed the issue for them, but not me. Thought maybe removing any of those Gtk3 packages that were installed (*I already have Gtk2) and/or removing the "libgnutls28" package. But, I think when I did it said Glib-Networking requires it, but that package was also installed this morning as well too. Do I need Glib-Networking, not sure what it's for??

It turns out the unwanted packages that were installed were from a Repo that I did NOT want enabled in the first place, which was for a different OS version....

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on what they think I should do, please feel free to respond. It would be VERY much appreciated..!

Thanks in Advance,
Matt

Not sure my issue is completely resolved, but after removing libgnutls28-3.0.3-5.1.2 I can successfully start the Display Manager now and I can successfully run GUI programs over SSH...

I noticed I had both libgnutls26 and libgnutls28 installed, so I removed the one that was installed this morning...
Code:

I'd like to make sure the other packages from that same Repo are also removed, but I'm afraid to break anything else... Either way though, I will be disabling that Repo...
