While attempting to upgrade I get the message given below. Is this a
problem with access permissions or configuration?

I installed Eclipse from a Suse 9.2 distribution and have been enjoying
some basic java programming; it is a great environment. However I noticed
that help does not work as 'mozilla %1' is not found. I know little about
eclipse configuration and its requirementss and I thought upgrading might
fix this. So I use the menu selection 'Help/Software Updates/Find and
install. It find an update to 3.0.2 and proceeds with the update from
/usr/share/eclipse. I then get the message.

The entire message
<message>
Unable to complete action for feature "Eclipse Project SDK" due to errors.

Thanks for your help.

I might add that in another computer I first changed the ownership of the
folder where the manifest is written (it was 'root'). This allowed me to
complete. However, I don't believe that changing ownership is a good
solution.

Still searching for solution.

Thanks
