Check is packman repository really for openSUSE 11.0. 
I had problems and few days ago took time to cleanup list from repositories 
that I will not use anymore and surprise, there was packman for 10.3. 
I can't recall when it was last time that I entered packman by hand, actually 
when I changed anything except enable-disable flag. 

Anyway after changing URL to point to 11.0, problems disappeared.

I keep it that way. 
Except mentioned problems, that keeps shorter software management startup 
time.

Move mouse cursor in list of packages and right click. 
Answer is at the bottom of context menu. 
If you want to export all list of all installed packages, than look at

The lists are xml files that you can import in another installation.
