Avi asked two *very* specific questions, both of which he had to resolve by removing the SuSE edition of the packages and installing directly from the product developer. What is more specific than that?
His main question was "Re: [SLE] Why does SuSE tweak software so much that it no longer work with other programs?" - what "in hell" is more unspecific than that?
Based on this and your original reply to him, I have to suspect that you didn't even bother to read everything he asked, particularly not the middle where the problems are described. You seem to have switched off after reading the subject line and the very last line of the message.
Avis post provided very little in terms of appropriate information needed to diagnose his problem. That combined with his main question is just not conducive to solving his problem.

I think that Avi's post, which _did_ describe problems, was written in justifiable frustration. Perhaps someone from Novell, or wherever SuSE is actually written, reads this list, and will take his complaint to heart. However, I understand there is a bug- reporting system in place, which probably really does get back to Novell and the delvelopers. I'm not sure how this works, since I haven't used it--and would like to, actually--but this is probably where his problems should be sent. Including the complaint about introducing failures where there haven't been any before.
