Hi Sergey (and sorry to everybody for the long post!)

For future reference, you can find the packages that provide missing 
dependencies as follows, using the --whatprovides parameter:

carl@linux:~> rpm -q --whatprovides libz.so.1
zlib-1.2.3-3

Carlos is almost certainly correct that you have tried to install the 
incorrect version (64 bit). You can avoid these conflicts by setting up a 
complete list of installation sources in YaST's "Installation Source" module. 
Here are the ones I use, but you should try to use a nearer/local/faster 
server if one is available to you:

Note: When you add these sources, be sure each has "refresh" set "on".

"Packman"
=======
protocol: http
server: packman.rsync.zmi.at
directory: suse/10.0

"Guru"
====
protocol: http
server: ftp4.gwdg.de
directory: pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.0/


10.0
===
protocol: ftp
server: ftp4.gwdg.de
directory: pub/suse/i386/10.0/inst-source-extra

protocol: ftp
server: ftp4.gwdg.de
directory: pub/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-GM-Extra

protocol: ftp
server: ftp4.gwdg.de
directory: pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source


Java for 10.0
========
protocol: ftp
server: ftp4.gwdg.de
directory: pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java


** Optional **
Supplementary Desktops for 10.0 ("unofficial" and "unsupported" newer 
versions; the KDE is great! GNOME may or may not be broken... I was 
selective... you might want to avoid. YMMV.)

KDE 3.5.2
======
protocol: ftp
server: ftp4.gwdg.de
directory: pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/yast-source

GNOME 2.12.2
=========
protocol: ftp
server: ftp4.gwdg.de
directory: pub/suse/i386/supplementary/GNOME/update_for_10.0/yast-source


The secret to using all of these repositories effectively lies in YaST's 
"Software Management" module. Launch the module, select "Package Groups" from 
the 'Filter' drop-down list at top-left. In the left pane, scroll all the way 
to the bottom and select 'zzz All'. When the list of packages has fully 
populated in the right pane, you can then scroll through all the packages 
that are available to YaST for install/update/remove... this includes 
Suser-Guru and Packman packages. Of particular importance are the "Inst. 
Ver." and "Avail. Ver." columns which stand for, respectively, "Installed 
Version" (blank means not installed) and "Available Version" (is available 
for installation.) YaST (actually rpm in the background) helps you avoid 
and/or resolve dependency conflicts automatically.

Have fun & good luck!

Carl
