In Software management - Filter by repo

Thanks for the tips, but the first statement is going to make me laugh! You really think that this should provide everything I need? Yet, you don't know what I need?

Kontact was not included in KDE 4.2.4 when I upgraded. Then when I added it, it required KDE 4.2.95! I have not added any KDE repos that were not recommended here. There were packaging problems. Now that one has been sorted out. There is Kontact for 4.2.4.

Listen, VLC is not provided there. Playing video from the net is not widely supported in SuSE. Many times I download a video and I have to try two or three apps to find one that works. Not a single one of them works on all versions of all codecs. Don't get me started on other apps and hardware issues that I need to add additional repos to find what I need and to keep it up to date. You cannot be serious telling someone you don't even know that they really only need what you yourself use.

The only reason some people end up complaining so much is because of these kinds of solutions. Is there really no way to solve the version problem aside from paring down repos to the bare minimum? So you are admitting that Yast cannot distinguish properly between versions? My gosh!
