You are not alone. I just posted about the similar problem that I just
experienced.
It looks like a bug while updating the Perl.

I just update my 10.3 with the YaST2 updates and also have same problem and
error. When I search for the libzypp.so.324 I don't find it. My system
Language is English. Found lots of YaST options get the same error, under
software, openline update, system software and others not under software.
The display of the logs work.

Not sure how to fix this since none of the software options in YaST work or
I'd drop back to the previous version.

Hope someone finds a way to fix this soon. I am able to use YaST on my 10.2
system which has all the lastest updates as of this morning. Don't remember
any YaST updates there.

Have you seen the post from akarui.tomodachi. The fix suggested by
rivenought worked fine for me.

I tried the solution posted in this thread, and it only gave a slew of
dependency errors. Now, YAST just hangs when I attempt to enter any of the
modules that have to do with software, including putting the original DVD
in to see if a repair can be done from that source.

After turning on my brain, I realized that I had downloaded and attempted to
install the wrong versions of the rpm's. I went back and downloaded the 64
bit versions instead of the 32 bit ones. Then, I simply followed the
instructions and the openSUSE updater appears to be back to normal.
However, it is once again nagging that I have two updates available:
libzypp and zypper. Those updates must be the ones that caused the problem
in the first place. I shall just ignore them until one of the experts on
this group tells me to do otherwise. It would be nice to be able to just
remove updates that are not wanted, but that has been discussed before.

Thank you so much for your help rivenought.

From what I can gather, the only problem was the Boost 1.33.1-108.2
package. That was the killer update. Right after I got everything
figured out and back on track, I was also skeptical of the other
updates, but I did them, as well as the update to the updater. I am
running just fine, and I cannot see any negative aftereffects. The
Boost update has been removed from the updater. I have run all of the
latest updates and everything seems to be back to normal. I am glad I
could be of some help since I have learned quite a bit reading all of
these threads for so long and am happy to share something in return.

It is safe to update now (I just did so).

As I am quite a novice to the interior workings of linux and anxious not
to jeopardize my 10.2 by upgrading to 10.3 I would like to ask you for a
clarification: What does

Boost update has been removed from the updater

mean? Did you remove that file in _your_ system or became
SUSE aware of the problem and fixed it so that one can update again
without fearing any negative after effects? By the way: have there been
similar problems, i.de. causing problems instead of fixing them, with
other 10.3 updates in the past?

It means it's safe to update now. The broken package has been removed
from the openSUSE server itself.

Not any I'm aware of. If yes, they were probably fewer than for
10.1/10.2 since 10.3 is newer and didn't have too many updates yet :P
