Hi People As I said in my blog posting (http://www.evolutioncolt.com/~spayne/blog/?p=124), some packages in the GNOME Supplimentary section for SUSE 9.3 are broken. I've tried installing them with APT, Red Carpet and YaST2 on different machines wihtout any luck so I have come to the conclusion the packages are broken. To reitterate myself, the broken packages are: contact-lookup-applet (depends upon libebook-1.2.so.3) dasher (depends upon libwnck-1.so.16) gaim (depends upon libebook-1.2.so.3) gnome-applets (depends upon libwnck-1.so.17) gnome-system-monitor (depends upon libwnck-1.so.17) gok (depends upon libwnck-1.so.16) multisync-evolution (depends upon libebook-1.2.so.3 and libecal-1.2.so.2) The new libwnck package in the supplimentary section provides libwnck-1.so.18 and the old one provides libwnck-1.so.16 so I don't know where so.17 comes from. It seems the packages listed above with incorrect libwnck-1.so.* versions need to be rebuild with the latest packages. Also, the contact-lookup-applet and multisync-evolution aren't built against the latest evolution-data-server as they depend on a previous version. I downloading Beta 2 of SUSE Linux 10 now but I don't want to turn all m y machines over to Beta software at this stage and I'm sure there will be others who agree. I think it would be good if you could get these packages working for 9.3 :-) Thanks Seb

You could try to report a bug on this, but as we are all focused on SUSE Linux 10.0 at the moment, the odds are quite bad that someone fixes this very soon. [...]

Well Seb, the supplementary trees are beta software too. Using those trees isn't any different from using SUSE Linux 10.0 betaX. On the contrary it might even be worse... Regards Christoph

Ohhh I thought the supplemantary ones were just like the shipped ones but newer as there are often prerealease packages in the mainstream SuSE as well . Yeah I tried updating GNOME & its dependency hell & things stop working . And BTW Ive tried KDE & I dont recommend it either..(KDM doesnt start any more,....) just in case any one thought it might be worth it ... although it is kinda usable when get X running. ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?

Quoting ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/README.txt "To make it short: If you wish to use a newer version of a package and if you insist on having properly working updates at hand if there is a security update, then please use a newer SuSE Linux version. If you feel a little bit adventurous, then these packages will suit your needs." "a newer SuSE Linux version" => SUSE Linux 10.0 BetaN Regards Christoph

I had a similar problem after upgrading to the ATi binary drivers. I changed my mouse in YaST and kdm failed to start since. I solved the problem by taking the box down to init 3 and running SaX2, restart and kdm worked. The ATi drivers had to be reinstalled though. _____________________________________________________________________ For super low premiums, click here http://www.dialdirect.co.za/quote http://www.webmail.co.za the South African FREE email service
