Thanks for the detailed advice.  I had exactly the same experience on first try,
but was not smart enough to work my way through.  I'll give it a try. BTW, I
found Synaptic (0.26) to be a trap for the unwary in this situation.

I was hesitant to post my experiences in detail, for fear of being OT. since
SuSE states that it does not support apt.
