The other day I got some real good advice about how to set up Packman as an installation source for YaST's "Install and Remove Software". This worked great for installing Mplayer and getting its dependencies.
Today I noticed that Packman has an updated version of Kaffeine so I tried to install it just as I did for Mplayer. Unfortunately it did not work. YaST finds libxine1 as a dependency and attempts to install it but it is looking for version 1.0.1 and packman actually has version 1.1.0.
Is that a problem on Packman's end? Is it a YaST bug? Do I have something set up wrong?
What I did for now is download and install manually. Turns out libxine1 has other dependencies in turn, most of which I was able to fond on Packman. There were two libraries (libMagick.so.6 and libWand.so.6) I couldn't find and had to use "--nodeps" to get rpm to install everything. Itsdeems to be working OK except that Kaffeine crashes with segmentation violation when it exits. (It did this before I tried the Packman version.)
Thanks for any help, either in properly using Packman as installation source, in finding the missing libraries, or in avoiding the crash!

I don't think you have anything wrong. The problem is probably a typo on packman's end as far as what the dep is. As far as kaffeine is concerned I also get the seg fault when closing it. I would not be to concerned unless it stops working at all. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
