what does this mean??
It means you're trying to install a broken rpm. linux-gate.so.1 is a virtual library that you see when you're using NPTL (the i686 version of glibc in recent suse versions). The suse "find-requires" script removes this from the rpm requirements list, but apparently the rpm was built on a system that didn't know about this, and/or by a person who didn't know about this.
so, what you're saying is that it IS installed, this package just doesn't know it?
Yep
Be careful when installing third party packages. You never know what you get
this is the frustrating part about Linux... I am trying to get a video converter, kavi2svcd, installed. THIS program requires all SORTS of dependencies that aren't in the SUSE library..
well, freepops certainly isn't one of them. Get kavi2svcd from packman.links2linux.org, you'll get all the packages it requires from there as well (at least the ones that aren't already in the SUSE distribution)
