Conflict question

I am running suse 11.3. I want to install pwsafe and there is a ‘one-click’ link at
software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:mkng/openSUSE_11.4/pwsafe.ymp.

Using that link I get a conflict error that I don’t understand nor know what to do about it.
I’m not very Linux savvy but I do understand that perhaps the ‘one click’ is not working because it is not designed for my v11.3.

The conflict is:

YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2012-03-14 10:50:10

nothing provides perl = 5.12.3 needed by perl-Crypt-Pwsafe-1.2-3.1.noarch

 ] break perl-Crypt-Pwsafe by ignoring some of its dependencies

 ] do not install perl-Crypt-Pwsafe-1.2-3.1.noarch

YaST2 conflicts list END

I hesitate to break dependencies.

It says ‘nothing’ is what I need. Instead I expect a package name???
Is this a missing value in the script?

The dependency for perl-Crypt-Pwsafe is:

perl = 5.12.3
perl(Digest::SHA) >= 0.1
perl(Term::ReadKey) >= 0.1
perl(Crypt::Twofish) >= 0.1

My installed version of perl is 5.12.1-2.7.1 but there is no indication in Yast that an update is available.

I’d like to know how to proceed.

Thanks, Jon

11.3 support has ended

And you can’t use 11.4 repos for 11.3

Thanks, I was afraid that might be the answer.

This box is old & slow so there is no incentive to move up in distro’s.

Can you recommend a password manager that I can install under 11.3?

As you do not tell which desktop you run, I can only say: KDE has KWallet.

I’m running KDE. I have looked at kWallet. My interest in pwSafe is that I already have that installed on some other computers. I’d rather not input all my data rather than simply copying/importing an existing ‘safe’. And as changes are made over time I’d have to maintain sync between several computers with different password managers. I see kWallet has an xml import and pwsafe has an export xml to maybe that is what I will have to resort to.

thanks,
jon

The incentive is that the machine will be less secure with time.
