Important note:

I know that applying this patch the way I suggested isn't the best way of doing
it, but it's just an easy and fast way. Feel free to apply it the way you want.
You can either apply the patch against the tarball, or checkout the current svn
branch at:

https://svn.smartpm.python-hosting.com/branches/yast2-channel/

Either way, afther applying the patch you should 'make && make install'.
