sax3 install fails?

I posted to the forum several days ago (on Mar 19) – I’m running
Suse 11.3 with an onboard motheboard ATI “card” and a second
PCI ATI card, each with its own monitor. I have to boot with
nomodeset and only the onboard monitor shows a display. The
other monitor has no signal at all.

Anyway, in four days, I’ve had over 60 views but no suggestions,
so I thought I might try sax3. So I downloaded it but when I try
to install it, I get:

>rpm -i sax3-0.1-45.1.i586.rpm
warning: sax3-0.1-45.1.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 0f2672c8: NOKEY
file /usr/share/libaugeas0/augeas/lenses/dist/xorg.aug from install of sax3-0.1-45.1.i586 conflicts with file from package augeas-lenses-0.5.0-6.1.i586

Yes, there is such a file, but now what?

If I uninstall augeas-lenses, the file goes away, but rpm then says that I have a missing
dependency on augeas-lenses. Seems like a Catch-22 situation to me.

Well, the fact that 11.3 is out of maintenance, no support, may have
something to do with it :slight_smile:

Be aware that the 11.3 repos are being disconnected, so may get broken deps
and such.

Yeah – Do I upgrade to 12.1 on the hope that it
will fix everything or do I leave a (mostly) working system
alone knowing that if I upgrade I might fix this problem
(or not) but I’m likely to lose several days getting a new
operating system running properly (or not). I was forced
into 12.1 last week for my laptop when my disk died. I suppose
I’m waiting for the disk to die on this one too :slight_smile:

Hard decision, I know… For this I always leave at least a small extra
partition so that I can test the next version. When I upgrade for real I
already know that most things will work.
