Did you find kfilebox in Yast or ............?
Yast, Appers and File Search [webpin] can't seem to find their arse with both hands, or either hand. File Search keeps coming back with a 404 error for everything. Yast just says "Not Found".
search for "kfilebox" I find 6 listings today.
I could be wrong, I'm first to admit it. But, isn't finding and installing software packages the purpose of Yast? When you search for a package that is supplied from openSUSE repos shouldn't Yast be able to find it and install it? If you have the proper repos set up that is. I'm not sure the purpose of Package Search. That's something "new" since my last foray into SuSE. It says it's supposed to search the web for packages. Maybe it's supposed to search places like the link above. But all it ever returns is a 404 error. Appers looks to me like a KDE package manager that is a KDE based alternative to Yast. If the only way to find the software you need is to search for it from Firefox, or your favorite browser, why do you need Yast and the rest? -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
