This currently sucks a bit, since you can't skip some of the problems to see if the other solutions solve also these. We will a (s)kip possibility here soon. > The easiest solution would be to delete wesnoth-data, but since I am Yes, and that is actually what you will be proposed after you get rid of the above prompt (currently only by choosing 1). > here to learn I wonder what other ways does openSUSE offer to handel > dependency conflicts? And what is a 'solver run'? The solver == the dependency resolver. You select packages to install, zypper calls the solver to check for dependencies. If there are dep. problems, solver proposes solutions, you choose one (currently for each of the problems, but you will be able to skip some in the future) and then zypper calls the solver again (makes another solver run). Other ways to handle dependency conflicts == use the other command line package managers or use the graphical ones e.g. YaST Software Management (uses the same (libzypp) solver as zypper BTW). Of course you could use the rpm itself (like you could use dpkg in debian), but that can be quite problematic.
