    Hello,

    I'm having a problem with my filesystem that shows up as depency
    conflicts (attached) when using YaST to install new software. The
    strange thing is that the installation of my SuSe 9.3 Pro went ok and my
    Linux box works quite fine (I wonder how it is possible...). I first
    noticed this problem when tried to install imgSeek.

    When tried to solve the problem by installing the filesystem again, the
    filesystem package installation fails, following error appears.

    Any ideas?
