During the first installation of the rpms, I got an error message stating that "libwmf-0.2.8-24.i586.rpm did not appear to be a RPM package". All the other rpms installed perfectly. After this I went to have a look at libwmf using Midnight Commander and Yes, mc came back with the message that it could not read the file. So I downloaded another copy of it from the SuSE site and this time I was able to look insided it using mc. Fine, I thought to myself, now I can install it.
Ok, this looks like a broken download. Sh*t can happen... ;-)
When I try to install libwmf-0.2.8-24.i586.rpm I now get an error message which states-
wv requires libwmf-0.2.so.6 wv requires libwmflite-0.2.so.6
and something else also requires the latter file (...lite...).
I don't use wv, but I noticed that there is a wv2 on the SuSE server which seems to be the successor of wv. There's also a new version of libwmf (0.2.8-24), which you are probably trying to install. So either don't update libwmf (since the old version is required by wv) or uninstall wv, install wv2 and then update libwmf (however, as I don't know wv/wv2, I'm not sure which libwmf version is required by wv2). The libwmf-0.2.8-24.i586.rpm contains libwmf-0.2.so.7 and libwmflite-0.2.so.7, that's the reason for the error message. One thing you can also try is to force the update of libwmf and then create a symbolic link from /usr/lib/libwmf-0.2.so.7 to libwmf-0.2.so.6 (and also for libwmflite) but this is not guaranteed to work.
Now, what has got me absolutely and thoroughly confused is that both of the above files (the so.6) are acutally installed and are sitting in /usr/lib!
Yes, "rpm -Fvh *.rpm" tries to freshen all packages for which it finds newer versions in the current directory. Since you probably have libwmf-0.2.8-24.i586.rpm in your directory rpm finds that updating libwmf will also remove libwmf-0.2.so.6 which will break wv, therefore the error message.
I don't if this connected to the above but before I updated to KDE 3.1.3 - or, rather, almost updated to it - I had a fully functional TV card (ie, Kwintv was working perfectly) and also in the poker game all cards has backs and fronts which were visible- now the cards are total blanks with nothing on them :-).
Yes, these are known problems with KDE 3.1.3. I reported the kwintv problem as a bug, but I don't think this will be fixed. If you take a look at www.kwintv.org you will find that kwintv is not supported anymore. The program is completely rewritten and now called QtVision. I switched to xawtv for the moment, since this works fine for me, too.
