I know that this has come up several times, but it has scrolled off the
available window of my news server. I need to install the multimedia
stuff from packman for open suse 11.1 which yast won’t install. What was
the tools and method. Or just post a link to a howto.
Tried using the search on the webpage and got nothing looking for packman,
what’s up with that? Or is it just more broken than usual with the silly
captcha just for a lousy search.

Ok i will (re)try that. The problem that i seem to keep getting is a MD5
sum error type issue. Therre was another tool to install packman rpms
that would deal with the invalid repo signature issue. That is the tool i
was looking for.
May be back in a while with results, i will have to disable some other
repositories first.

Sorry, still getting this:
Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error:
/var/cache/zypp/packages/packman/Essentials/i586/libmpg123-0-1.13.4-1.4.i586.rpm:
Header V4 RSA/SHA1 signature: BAD, key ID 1abd1afb
Now what was that other tool?

Hi
What about the 1-click?
PackMan :: Package details for mpg123
Just make sure in the preferences (top by the flags) to 11.1
If not remove the repository and manually download and create a local repo and dump the rpm there, for example as your USER;
mkdir ~/local_rpms
cd ~/local_rpms
wget -c http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/Essentials/i586/libmpg123-0-1.13.4-1.4.i586.rpm
su -
zypper ar dir:///home/{username}/local_rpms local_rpms
zypper ref
zypper in libmpg123
Note: {username} is the username you created the repository directory above.

i see just now that you have been working at this update project for
five days…and, no one has yet mentioned that openSUSE 11.1 went past
its end-of-life one year and one day ago <http://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime>
i would suggest that you move to a supported version, 11.4 or 12.1
however if you wish to try to keep it updated and safe to use you should
join the Evergreen project here, http://tinyurl.com/4aflkpy
as far as i know the only repo you should use to prolong the life of
openSUSE 11.1 is as listed on that page…and, if you run into troubles
or need assistance you should seek help from the mailing list linked
from that page…

Well the issues have changed over time. First, KDE4 was totally not ready
for quite a while, not until 11.4 (and still not then), so i could not
move on. Finally KDE3 has been resurrected but now my system is troubled,
i have learned better than to try to upgrade a troubled system. So first
i stabilize my existing system, then migrate to 11.4 with KDE3. The
Akonadi infected kmail2 is not acceptable. I may try a 12.1 with KDE3
though, but it must pass test drive in a VM first. Does this clarify how
things got to be the way they are?
Does anyone remember that alternate package/application manager that would
support the different (and valid) package signatures?

yes, but since you had relayed that info in this thread (nor referenced
another thread with that info) i was prudent (imo) to mention the facts
i did…
if you begin other help for 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3 threads please inform the
potential helpers you are aware of the dangers of using unsupported
software and . . .
otherwise, i might (probably will) encourage you again to use supported
software (because i won’t research your posting history to learn your
particular situation)…

The explanation of why i am where i am does not fit in the header. The
core content of what i want does. Can you provide the information i am
looking for?

regardless, it would be inappropriate to not inform a user of their
version’s end of life status…
> Can you provide the information i am looking for?
sorry, no (i do not recall another tool to install packman rpms
that would deal with the invalid repo signature issue–i have enough to
try to remember just with supported versions…sorry)…
however as mentioned earlier, all support for 11.1 is via Evergreen, and
it is they who are the most closely following/remembering it–if they
can’t help you i’m not sure who can–you could join the Evergreen
project here, http://tinyurl.com/4aflkpy and ask on their mail list–it
is possible they can tell you precisely what you need to know…
alternatively (since you wrote “it has scrolled off the
available window of my news server”) you might use one of the more
persistent news archives–i think google can access back to the
Internet Stone Age…and, 11.1 is lot more recent than that…i do not
know where you saw the answer (alt.os.linux.suse maybe?) but you could
try searching an archive…
heck, you can search the entire opensuse.org archives, like
http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aopensuse.org+“11.1”+install+multimedia
on the other hand, you are welcome to hang out here and wait for the
person who remembers, to happen along…
