hi everybody,
sorry if i ve posted this question more than once, but im really stuck now, when i try to install the snort2.8 package on suse 10.3 (downloaded from Software.openSUSE.org) i get this error:
error: Dependence required:
libdnet.so.1 is needed for snort-2.8.2.2-1.1.i586
rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1 is needed for
snort-2.8.2.2-1.1.i586
when i try to install the libnet package i get the same error of the rpmlib package
the problem i didnt find this package and it appears that many people have the same issue
RPM packages compressed with LZMA cannot be installed on < 11.0 without upgrading RPM yet. LZMA compression is new to 11.0. Sorry, don’t ask me how to upgrade, I don’t have any 10.3 machines anymore.

hmmmmm…it kinda sounds like openSUSE has (inadvertently?) done to
us what M$ routinely does their own…that, is gently (?) FORCE an
upgrade…
i wonder, if openSUSE intends to do the same…OR, if i can actually choose to run 10.3 for the full two years i was led to believe it
would be supported by the community…
maybe there is a play to patch 10.3 to allow it to use LZMA
compressed rpms… OR what??

No so fast, it hasn’t been established that the OP was installing an official 10.3 snort package update, just one he got from a repository.
Updates for 10.3 will probably continue to be supplied in the legacy format, or there will be (and I believe there is) an upgrade to the rpm program/libraries to handle LZMA format.

also correct, and i installed same, based on deano’s post…
BTW, you ever use that “one click” install?? man i lost track of all
the clicking you have to do
click the button on the web site
click to send the rpm to YaST or hard drive
then, do you wanna install? we are gonna add a repository, is that
ok? click, do you know bad software can harm your computer? click,
are you SURE you wanna install? click,
AND, when YaST opens new dialogs to BOASTFULLY show it is working
(downloading repository files and syncing) likely as not it STEALS
focus, and plops itself down in the CENTER of the screen, ON top (of
the oo.o doc i was trying to type into) saying LOOK AT ME…just
like i remember Win3.1 did…sick, egotistical programmers thinking
THEIR code running is what i should think is the most important thing
going on in MY life…
AND there must be some more clicks i forgot…
one would think the programmer never heard of starting a new
thread and NOT taking focus…must have ‘grown up’ in Windows[tm]
what a lot clicking (and waiting) just to avoid the command line…

I am way too late with a comment here, but I updated successfully I think, the clamav-0.95.2-6.1.i586.rpm to the clamav-0.95.3-17.1.i586.rpm on a SuSE 10.1 machine. The package is from SLED 10 Index of /repositories/security/SLE_10/i586
