Anyone know how to make yast2 work?

I'm running SLES v10 (SLED-10-SP1)
Linux ascot 2.6.16.53-0.16-smp #1 SMP Tue Oct 2 16:57:49 UTC 2007 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I run "yast2 online_update" just like I've been doing for many months
now,
- it brings up the window "initializing Online Update"
- it pops up lots of little transient windows saying "Parsing
files..."
- eventually those stop, at that point the window has...
- a green checkmark next to: Initialize the target system
- a green checkmark next to: Refresh update sources
- the progress bar at the bottom is at 100%
- the column on the left says: The system is initializing the
installation and
update sources. Instllation and update sources can be altered in the
Installation Source module.

It never does anything again. I've let it sit for as long as six
hours.

Eventually I ^C it and it says:
YaST got signal 2 at YCP file
/usr/share/YaST2/clients/online_update_select.ycp:80

How do I diagnose and/or fix this?
