    Scary. Looks like something has wiped your root partition. Have you tried booting a rescue system to check what's still there?

    Yep, this is frightening,

    /usr/bin empty and /sbin, too !

    Fortunately this production server, was not used anymore,

    Still, trying to reanimate the beast, without success ...

    I think I will have to re-install

    We restore the VM (I didn't make a snapshot before, as I was to confident in YaST).

    I've been able to reproduce the "crash", this is the latest line before YaST hangs.

    YaSt error is following : "Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Command exited with status 129."

    Why is it removing "glibc" ?

    The same thing happened to me. Using a parallel SLES system it shows me that there was no root-directory anymore. There must be a problem with the glibc update process. Normally there is a Delta-rpm at the update of glibc. Updating to OES 24.3 this glibc version doesn't have any Delta-Rpm. This crashes the whole system from within because there is no c-interpreter at the system which is needed for almost every process including kernel activity.

    That sounds unusual! We haven’t encountered this issue in our testing and might need more information to troubleshoot it. Could you please create a ticket for us?

    I believe you haven’t added any third-party repositories to the OES server.
