Problem solved. For some bizarre reason, the OpenSuSE packaging folks
put
csh in an RPM called tcsh-6.18.01-2.2.1.x86_64; they provide a separate RPM
called csh-dummy-1.0-9.2.noarch whose sole purpose is to correct errors like
the one I encountered.
From the RPM description:
====================================================================
Information for package csh-dummy:
----------------------------------
Repository: Packman
Name: csh-dummy
Version: 1.0-9.1
Arch: noarch
Vendor: http://packman.links2linux.de
Installed: No
Status: not installed
Installed Size: 533 B
Summary: A "dummy-package" to circumvent obsolete requires for csh
Description:
This is a "dummy-package" to circumvent obsolete requires for csh in newer
SuSE-versions.
Some Packages (i.e. Printer Drivers from Brother Inc.) require the package
"csh", which has become obsolete some time ago, as the csh is now located in
the package "tcsh".
To circumvent installing rpm-Packages requiring csh with the "evil" switch
"--nodeps", this "package" can be installed.
This "package" is just an empty RPM, which registers the "package" csh in
the
rpm-database. It requires the package "tcsh" installed to correctly satisfy
the requires for the C-shell on newer SuSE-versions.
====================================================================
Unfortunately, this RPM is unknown to the tcsh RPM, so it does not get
installed automatically; also, it does not reside in a standard repository,
and it does not turn up in a search of the OpenSuSE repositories; apparently
one is just supposed to know that it exists. :-p

A Caution to Everybody
