Wich dependencies ? You can prove to install the archive with rpm or kpackage. It's easier with kpackage. You can do that simply with konqueror as root by clicking on the archive. If you have installed kpackage, it will run it and even if the install fail, you will get a list of the dependencies.
But, if the install is not working with Yast, i think at you have another problem. You can prove to do that with ftp. In yast click to change the installation support, note what you have, choose ftp and as ip adress write 195.176.255.9 and as directory /mirror/SuSE/suse/i386/8.0 Dominique Michel
kpackage is working OK. It is how I know that there are dependencies and what they are. (I am at home now so I cannot list them.) I wonder why kpackage cannot automagically use YAST to go out, acquire, and load the dependencies? Seems that the original app (e.g. everybuddy or gaim) could provide the correct url's. Is it correct that gaim requires Gnome? I have been trying to keep things simple by using only KDE. Thanks! doc
