There are a couple of ways (if not more). Picking out the unsatisfied dependencies, sorting them, and eliminating duplicates, you get: build-key desktop-data netcfg yast2-inetd yast2-installation yast2-ldap-client yast2-mail-aliases yast2-security yast2_theme In most cases, but not all, those are going to be the names of RPMs. With the exception of build-key, desktop-data, and yast2_theme, that's the case here. You could install the rest with a simple yast -i netcfg yast2-inetd yast2-installation, yast2-security yast2-mail-aliases yast2-ldap-client Assuming, of course, that the installation media is in the same place as it was during the install, and is still accessible to the system. And, it's entirely possible that installing those _might_ pull in some or all of the rest because of dependencies. But, let's assume that's not the case. If you go into YaST, and select Software -> Install and Remove Software, you'll come to a screen that doesn't show you much useful information at first. If you select "Filter" and choose the Search option, you can enter strings to search for. Since we've assumed that what we're looking for is not the name of a package, make sure the "Provides" option is checked. You can leave the "Name" and "Summary" options checked as well. Put the name of the dependency you're looking for into the "Search Phrase" field, and then hit OK. If we use yast2_theme as an example, you should get back a list with only one package: yast2-theme-SuSELinux You can select that for installation, and then do more searches for the other dependencies: suse-build-key desktop-data-SLES I'm not at all sure how you wound up without some of these installed. The installer should have forced them on you. (See the "gratuitous" thread.) But, you also have some packages installed that I would remove: finger rsh xdg-menu fvwm2 And probably a bunch of others that are of no use on a mainframe, dangerous, or both.
