What is going on with the quality of openSUSE 11.1? It's not even possible to use Asterisk PBX!
Seems like you don't have a clue. Asterisk is *not* maintained by a Novell employee but by someone from the community. If that person hasn't yet maintained his package it's not the fault of Novell/SuSE and it also has nothing to do with the quality of openSUSE 11.1.
Bug reported here over 1 month ago with ZERO updates of any sort: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465210
Have you looked at who the bugowner is? It was opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com, a mailinglist where anybody who wants to help screening bugs can subscribe. Again, this is voluntary community work and if no one reacts it's only the community you can blame.
Tried to compile from source, but it requires termcap-devel which is not a part of openSUSE 11.1 at all.
I checked the build logs of asterisk and some of the packages it needs and that are also part of network:telephony and it seems that at least zaptel needs to be modified because it installes in paths that aren't allowed anymore (binary in /sbin that needs libraries in /usr/lib). I guess the other failing packages fail for similiar reasons. This needs someone from the community (preferably the maintainer(s) of the package) to fix these packages. This is nothing Novell/SuSE can force. All in all you're barking up the wrong tree. What you could do is write to the maintainers of network:telephony and politely ask if one of them could possibly fix the packages so that asterisk builds again.
