In reply to Carlos the yast package search couldn't tell me where pdflatex comes from. ATM our package managers and rpm can't find a file in a not installed package
Right.
and only yast can locate a file in an installed one.
But there is a separate module in yast called "webpin" that should; it pulls information from a server at opensuse.org that needs to be updated. It was down recently, and I don't know if it has factory information. Lacking that, there is a CLI local "pin" script, which gets the information from an "/var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz" file. Traditionally, that file comes from the DVD, but that currently doesn't have all the info, it should instead use the equivalent file from the OSS repo, or oss and non-oss combined. You can wget that file from the repo and copy it to /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz, it should work. Try it :-) At least in my 11.2 it works. I assume factory also has "pin".
The http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ webpin can't even tell me which package I can get pdflatex from and it doesn't work for factory anyway.
It was reported broken for 11.3 for months. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
