How is it, then, that the packages that you say cannot be distributed by OpenSuSE itself, have to be removed after distro installation, and replaced with the ones in the Packman repository that work? How can OpenSuSE provide those broken packages in the first place, if your assertion is true? OpenSuSE should just leave out those broken packages and let users install them directly from Packman.
