Easier solution: from a command line: #rpm -e scribus then look here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mrdocs/Mandriva_2009/ for 1.3.3.13. then download and install with rpm -ivh scribus* There is currently some issue with 1.3.3.13 not building on Mdv 2009 on i586. 64bit package compiled fine. I have triggered a rebuild and you might see a new package in the next few hours. Peter
