It might be a dependency.

One of the options shows you what it is finally going to install/unistall.
You should also click the button "check dependencies".

If it fails, then use the comandline "rpm --erase --force ...rpm" - I
think with those options, if not, 'man' is your friend. Trye first without
force to see why it complains.

Thanks man, I'll give it another shot. SUSE and Slackware are my two absolute
fav distros so I'm not calling it quits over this, I love them both and use
both and ONLY those.

They do what I need and more. So if it fails again I'll give those commands a
shot.

I used to be the one helping others on here back when it was 9.0 and 10.0 and
now I've been so busy I've started getting rusty with UNIX lol.

Reason is, well, I got Married, and I'm moving back and forth between two
countries right now, so it's taken some of my time away that I normally had
to mess around on machines and I only have my laptop right now as my desktops
are currently in another country so I had no way to set up another machine to
test on.

Anyway though, thank you very much, and I'll give it another go and see if
it's a dependency thing. If so I'll check what needs it and if I don't need
those apps I'll take them all out.

when I added the repos I found them and added them into YAST2 and kept the
ones that are there by default as I wanted the patches from OpenSUSE and just
wanted to option of adding third party stuff from the others, so I added
those in and added some new software to give it a shot, and that's pretty
much how all this started up.

Man this turned out to be longer than I intended, heh sorry. Anyway, thanks
much and I'll give those a shot and make sure I save these emails so I can
check the commands later on, we have to leave in a sec, going out for
Breakfast.

Have a good one,

Thanks
