I agree with Richard, apt-get is a slick route and has worked like a charm for me since I've been using it. Right up until I couldn't solve this whole java2 dependency problem that is. Unfortunately, in my short time using it, I haven't found a way to force it to install something when there are unmet dependencies on the system.
I've missed the start of this thread, so apologies if this has already been suggested.
Not sure about any version of apt that may come with SuSE, but certainly on the Debian version of apt you can use the --force-depend option.
I don't get that to work. E: Command line option --force-depend is not understood How can I keep the java2 package, but still use apt-get for SuSE? /Stefan
