She clicked the downloaded RPM in Konq., got a button that said "Install with Yast" and when she clicked that and put in the root pw, Yast stupidly installed the gaim package from the installation CDs, not the downloaded one, AND Yast installed Suse's useless non-working mplayer on top of the vanilla mplayer that my wife spent hours figuring out how to compile by herself so she could play Windows media which the Suse mplayer cannot do. The GAIM thing indeed seems to be a bug, but the MPlayer thing is impossible. If it is manually installed, it is put in '/usr/local' which never gets touched in any way by Yast.
This same behavior was dealt with regarding Mozilla, since the Mozilla that came with Suse couldn't do Java, but trying to install the vanilla Mozilla that works resulted in a dependency battle with Yast, which tries to reinstall Mozilla every time we try to use Yast to install software. The version of Mozilla that comes with SuSE just needs an updated Java, which has been availlable from Blackdown for a long time. This was only a problem in the first weeks after SuSE 8.1 was released.
