@spardini Hi and welcome to the Forum 
Perhaps some more details (you have posted in general discussion) on what release of SLE your running cat /etc/os-release? Also what is the error you see?
NAME=“SLED”
VERSION=“15-SP2”
@spardini Hi, is this the error you see?
Solution 1: do not install claws-mail-3.17.8-bp152.3.6.1.x86_64
Solution 2: break libpisock9-0.12.5-bp152.3.19.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies```
If so and your not syncing to a PALM device, then select `solution 2`....

as you can see the repository is correct but it can’t resolve the library dependencies
I use the mutt client for many years but i need to install claws-mail…
@spardini you need to refresh your repositories… you should be seeing claws-mail-3.17.8-bp152.3.6.1.x86_64 your showing claws-mail-3.17.6-bp152.3.3.1.x86_64.
Information for package claws-mail:
-----------------------------------
Repository : SUSE-PackageHub-15-SP2-Backports-Pool
Name : claws-mail
Version : 3.17.8-bp152.3.6.1
Try zypper ref -f then zypper in claws-mail then select Solution 2.
sorry but forcing the installation is not a solution I don’t understand why it doesn’t have to resolve dependencies if the repository is correctly set up it should provide the libraries
Hi
Because the missing library is only available in SLES…
Like I indicated, only for palm devices, if you have access to the above, a manual download/install will work… YMMV.
ok, I’ve never had these problems with Debian, I like this sled, it’s well done, stable and has a lot of useful features but probably not good for me, so I guess I’ll go back to my Debian. Thanks for the help
