Unfortunately you're about to cause your self a world of pain by mixing=20
packages from one distribution of Linux with another. Unfortunately, in Lin=
ux=20
if a package is from one distribution or another, it is highly advised to u=
se=20
packages only for the distribution you are on. This is caused by version=20
mismatches of libraries, locations of tools, and the scripts used to start=
=20
the installation/configure it. SuSE is as far from Debian in many ways as a=
n=20
apple is to an orange. While both are fruit and they both are sweet, they=20
aren't one and the same.
