[ale] SUSE package manager and install empathy

Tue Feb 15 17:19:49 EST 2011

Some simple terminology to help you out:

openSUSE - the free distro. has online repos, and tons of optional packages.

SLES - Suse Linux Enterprise Server - A commercial offering with no online
repos.  (Or at least none I know about.)

SLED - Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop - Another commercial offering.  Also
has no online repos.

SLE - Suse Linux Enterprise - A single name that covers both SLES and SLED.

OBS -openSUSE Build Service.  I large collection of thousands of
repositories.  openSUSE is 100% built in OBS, so all of the packages can
definitely be found there.  SLE is NOT built in the public OBS instance, so
you can only find a handful of SLE packages at OBS.

If you are running SLED 11, then you are a full Service Pack behind which is
a problem.

But SLED 11 is similar in nature to openSUSE 11.1, so if I were you I would
add the main 11.1 distro repo and the 11.1 update repo.

11.1 is out of support so you may soon only find those repos in the
discontinued area, but that are should be good for a couple more years.  So
I'd just load those in from the beginning:

Main 11.1 distro repo
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/distribution/11.1/

Source code repo
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/source/distribution/11.1/

Security updates repo
ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/update/11.1/

Empathy 2.24 was in opensuse 11.1, so once you have the above repos loaded

Zypper in empathy

Should pull it in.

Can you give that a shot.

Once you have that much working you can worry about upgrading to a
newer version of emapthy.

You'll find a full list of versions / repos here:
