Is there a way to tell if the mirrors are in an unusable state? I just did a minimal X openSUSE 42.1 installation expecting to install TDE on it, and everything I try to install depends on some package or other that cannot be provided. e.g.:

Selecting 'trinity-tdeutils-14.0.2-1.oss421.x86_64' from repository 'TDE' for installation. Problem: nothing provides libaudio.so.2()(64bit) needed by libtqt3-mt-3.5.0-14.0.2_1.oss421.x86_64 Selecting 'trinity-konsole-14.0.2-1.oss421.x86_64' from repository 'TDE' for installation.

Hi Felix, I do not use Suse so perhaps I say something wrong here. To me, it looks like you need some extra packages that are currently not available. I suspect they may be old packages no longer included in openSUSE 42.1 Try googling around to see if those packages are available somewhere (older version of suse or some website). Hopefully someone using Suse will be more helpful, this is as much as I can go. Cheers Michele

I use Debian, searching for those two libraries, libmad=MPEG audio decoder library libaudio=Network Audio System - shared libraries

Seems like basic/standard fare, make sure you have repo's selected.?

Turns out the otherwise optional Packman repo was configured in a disabled state. :-p Once I made that discovery, The main Packman repo on inode.at turned out to be in an unusable state, leading to more confusion. All is good now with Packman's gwde mirror enabled instead. :-)

That brings up a related issue:

https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall directs that Packman is a required repo, without saying anything about how to enable it. All it had was a link to the Packman home page following the string "Instructions:", but that linked page provides no obvious clues how to go about enabling any of it. Consequently I've edited that wiki page to include such a link.
