I do have the professional edition. Well, professional upgrade, but that is ostensibly the same thing. It's not on here either. i grabbed the INDEX.gz file from the ftp server and did a zdiff. It seems there are quite a few packages missing from my CD/DVD set as compared to the ftp site. Anders On Monday 30 April 2001 18:23, you wrote:

I'm attempting to install the newest version of sax2 (for X4.0.3), but rpm quits on the message
intlfonts-ttf is needed by sax2-4.3-25
How can I locate that package on the SuSE website (or on my 7.1 distribution CDs)?
mount cd#1, cd to it. zcat ARCHIVES.gz | grep intlfonts-ttf
Result: the package is in series gra
Here's what I get:
root@suillus:/usr/Suse-CDs > zcat ARCHIVES.gz | grep intlfonts-ttf ./CD1/suse/x1/intlfnts.rpm: intlfonts-ttf TrueType fonts
which indicates that it's in package x1, not package gra. But worse:
root@suillus:/usr/Suse-CDs > rpm -qi intlfnts

At first I thought that one of our systems was going insane, but then I noticed.
./suse/gra2/intlfonts-ttf.rpm: ./suse/x1/intlfnts.rpm: ./suse/zq1/intlfnts.spm: ./suse/zq1/intlfnts.spm:
It is quite true that there is a package in x1 called intlfnts.rpm, but he package you need is the one called intlfonts-ttf.rpm from gra2. Or at least, that was the one sax2 asked for.
Aha! I think I know what caused the misunderstanding. intlfonts-ttf.rpm is not on my CDs because I got the Personal Edition of SuSE 7.1, not the Professional Edition. I did find it on the website.
Surely the SuSE folks should make a note of this, since the X4.0.3 update instructions mention updating Sax2 without saying that a necessary package might have to be retrieved from the website.
