Hi everyone,  
I am new to SUSE, I have a SUSE 11 sp3 box for which I need to install Network Ups Tools on.

I have added the following two repos configured:

[CODE]# zypper repos -d

# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service

–±---------±----------------------------±--------±--------±---------±-------±---------------------------------------------------------------±-------  
1 | hardware | Hardware tools (SLE\_11\_SP3) | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware/SLE\_11\_SP3/](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware/SLE_11_SP3/) |  
2 | opensuse | opensuse | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | [http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/](http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/repo/oss/) |[/CODE]

However it looks like nut-drivers-net requires an older version of the netsnmp libs:

[CODE]# zypper install nut nut-drivers-net  
Loading repository data…  
Reading installed packages…  
Resolving package dependencies…

Problem: nothing provides libnetsnmp.so.15()(64bit) needed by nut-drivers-net-2.7.3-63.1.x86\_64  
Solution 1: do not install nut-drivers-net-2.7.3-63.1.x86\_64  
Solution 2: break nut-drivers-net-2.7.3-63.1.x86\_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): c[/CODE]

Could anyone shed some insight how I might get these packages installed?

Thanks!

Why, exactly? It’s not terrible, but it is probably causing your current  
problem.

You should be subscribed to the official repositories for SLE, not some  
from openSUSE. These may work, but not being official you may get newer  
(or older) versions of some packages, causing conflicts.

From my SLES 11 SP-something server:

```auto
root@mybox0:~# zypper in nut
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...

The following NEW packages are going to be installed:
libneon27 libupsclient1 nut nut-classic

4 new packages to install.
Overall download size: 982.0 KiB. After the operation, additional 4.4 MiB
will be used.
Continue? [y/n/?] (y):
```

–  
Good luck.

Hi ab,  
On my box:

[CODE]# zypper mr -d 2  
Repository ‘opensuse’ has been successfully disabled.

# zypper mr -d 1

Repository ‘hardware’ has been successfully disabled.

# zypper in nut

Loading repository data…  
Reading installed packages…  
‘nut’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.  
No provider of ‘nut’ found.  
Resolving package dependencies…

Nothing to do.[/CODE]

So it does not have any official repo setup. Reading up on suse versus opensuse, I take it there are no public repos but you can download the iso for free?

Sorry for the entry level questions, I do not have any experience with either suse or opensuse.

Thanks!
