Is the texlive-humanities package missing from 12.2 ?
Where do I find it?
A quick search revealed that maybe you meant ‘texlive-collection-humanities’

did you try your frind?
is it German humanities?
if so i found it with my friend (google), by searching on just
“texlive-humanities”…
7th hit (behind lots of Debian references) said “RPM OpenSuSE
texlive-biblatex-fiwi 2012.58.1.1esvn25415 noarch … Oct 10, 2012 –
Biblatex styles for use in German humanities” located here
which says:
it was designed for citations in German Humanities, especially
film studies, and offers some features that are not provided by the
standard biblatex styles. The style is highly optimized for documents
written in German, and the main documentation is only available in
German.
“RPM found in directory:
/mirror/ftp.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/oss/suse/noarch”
and it gives links to the rpm…

On my new install of 12.2 I get zero results searching for any packages with the word “humanities”. So if 'texlive-collection-humanities" was there, it should appear on a search for humanities. Is there another repo I need?

Hmmm, Yes, that’s the package, thank you; but it’s not available in 12.2, only in the unreleased beta, factory version. I just tried installing the 12.3 version and got this error:
An error occurred while initializing the software repository.
Details:
openSUSE:Factory: |] Valid metadata not found at specified URL(s)
History:

Try again?
I have no idea what that means–any suggestions?
It is part of TeXlive 2012 - the default install is 2011. You can get it from the Publishing/TeXlive repository. If you add this
Index of /repositories/Publishing:/TeXLive/openSUSE_12.2
to your repositories, it will appear in YaST Software Management.
