please, show us the input string and the output string, because if you
have openSUSE 11.4, as you said in your post then it looks like maybe
you picked the wrong set of libs to ask for, it should be:
and, please show us the terminal input/output from
zypper lr -d
cat /etc/SuSE-release
copy/paste the in/output back to this thread using the instructions
here: http://goo.gl/i3wnr
Bizarre, those packages should be in the OSS repo. This is on 12.1 but I don’t think it has changed since 11.4. Sorry, no ideas.
$ zypper info libpng12-0-32bit

and downloaded manually, and they installed okay,
i then followed rest of the guide: SDB:Skype - openSUSE
and it works…
if anyone has any advice regarding the way i set up my repo’s and why it couldn’t find these packages through zypper? i’d be grateful.
Anyway we can skype mac friends now so my upgrade from 11.3 to 11.4 looks complete…

only thing i could hypothesize would be that your system (through
MirrorBrain <http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mirrors>) was connected to
a mirror which was having problems with the oss repo at the exact point
in time you were trying to fetch…
and, the transient problem was so new that it had not been detected and
therefore that mirror had not yet been marked unavailable…
Interesting
The mirror was warwick, uk. is this something i should contact someone about?
It’s failed to find these packages for about a week, whenever i have tried.
Phil
Yeah your right…!
i thought i saw warwick in terminal, but obviously not, i tried again in terminal…no mention of which mirror…apologies to the fine citizens of warwick, as well as you DenverD (in case you don’t live in warwick)
