No.
Ok, then... what should he do to repair it?
On my 11.0 system I did:
sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.0/ KDE:Qt
That added the repository to my list of repositories. Then I did
sudo zypper lu -t package
to see what package get update. This step is actually not necessary for the overall process.
And finally to do the update:
sudo zypper up -t package
That resolved my problem with a missing package after the announcement with the KDE:Qt repository requirement.
<Sigh> Thank you, Guenter, for your response. But you are giving your response from a person who KNOWS how to handle this problem! How about the newcomer to openSUSE who instals 11.0 and then gets the message which we are 'talking' about here? How is he/she going to handle this? Are they going to be able to know that to 'fix' the problem that they would have to: " sudo zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.0/ KDE:Qt That added the repository to my list of repositories. Then I did sudo zypper lu -t package to see what package get update. This step is actually not necessary for the overall process. And finally to do the update: sudo zypper up -t package That resolved my problem with a missing package after the announcement with the KDE:Qt repository requirement." If you had just installed openSUSE in the past week or so, would you be able to do the above if zypper came up with the error message talked about here? (Then we also have the postings of someone in the Factory mailist who states and keeps ending his/her posting with: "Serving fools should not be a goal of openSUSE. The quality is in other areas." and "..don't forget: serving fools just creates a new fool - you". Such *in-depth* understanding about how things should work! What an *in-depth* understanding on, "How to make friends and influence people"! (From the e-mail address, he/she appears to be connected with openSUSE/Novell - but, I may be wrong [hope so!].) Ciao PS. If you had noticed a change of type font above in my response then it is the result of what I mentioned in my other posting concerning the affect of recent upgrades on Thunderbird - which disappear if Firefox (the openSUSE version) is shutdown.
