I suspect they may be old packages no longer included in > openSUSE 42.1 Turns out the otherwise optional Packman repo was configured in a disabled state. :-p Once I made that discovery, The main Packman repo on inode.at turned out to be in an unusable state, leading to more confusion. All is good now with Packman's gwde mirror enabled instead. :-) That brings up a related issue: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/OpenSUSEInstall directs that Packman is a required repo, without saying anything about how to enable it. All it had was a link to the Packman home page following the string "Instructions:", but that linked page provides no obvious clues how to go about enabling any of it. Consequently I've edited that wiki page to include such a link. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
