After completing the task I now get the following responses to quiery and install:

The _package_ name is xemacs-info-21.4.15-43. It does _not_ include the architecture (x86_64) or the suffix rpm. Try rpm -q xemacs-info-21.4.15-43
# rpm -i xemacs-info-21.4.15-43.x86_64.rpm package xemacs-info-21.4.15-43.x86_64.rpm is already installed
Here you are not dealing with the _package_ name but the name of the _rpm_. That's the difference and the cause for confusion. Hope that helps, Ingo P.S.: it's basically the wrong mailinglist for such a question, this one is dedicated to the X graphical system. Can't say which list would be better suited unfortunately. In fact after the site relaunch SuSE -> Novell I can't find any mailinglist information at all... -- Ingo Strauch ---- Registered Linux User #227900 (http://counter.li.org/) http://www.the-one-brack.org/
