Yes, but, the file the compiler wants is actually named "dovecot-config"
You did not mention "the compiler" before.
What do you want to compile and why?
Dovecot "pigeonhole", something to, apparently, use to play with sieve scripts and such like.
There are apparently no pre builts for the opensuse dovecot package.
Then, the package you need is dovecot-devel, or some other package with "...-devel" in the name.
Which is what I was attempting to do when YAST reported the error.
An absolutely correct message. You were attempting to use <https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/mail/15.5/server-mail> which does not exist, and is not the same URL you tried on the browser.
Agreed, the file does not exist.
Again, "I" was not attempting to use any specific file or location. YAST was. I selected packages for installation, YAST added a few more and I told it to have at it.
Please refer to the screenshot of the YAST error to confirm for yourself that YAST could not find the file it itself was looking for.
I did not specify the URL or the rpm file YAST was looking for. That is up to YAST.
What I tried in the browser screen shot is meaningless except to confirm to myself that what it wanted was not there, to my understanding.
From my perspective it is an issue for opensuse to fix.
who exactly in the opensuse "community" is it that you expect to "fix" your problem? and when? and what renumeration will you provide for their donated work?
I have no knowledge of who within or peripheral to opensuse might be able or inclined to resolve the problem, be it my error or one within the YAST "framework". My expectations would be that someone on the list would recognize an error in whatever process and/or information YAST uses to install packages it is trying to install and suggest or initiate a means of communicating that to those that maintain such, to correct the apparent errors. Perhaps the means to do so directly is mentioned on the opensuse web pages I visited, yet eluded me. Pretty sure this list was one of the suggested means of support. Pretty sure I found out about it somehow. The "remuneration"? Why should not boost to their own status within the community be sufficient? This is, after all, within the FOSS concept, is it not? With particular emphasis, in this case, on the "F".
just trying to define your expectations.
Certainly hope this helps.
