What does this mean?

Software installer error:

"directory" "filename.rpm is not available or fully up to date

this keeps happening when I go to install stuff.

Using SUSE 10.1

Software installer error:

Open SuSE-10.1 (as provided via FTP or bittorrent - before the recent "remastered SuSE-10.1") had significant bugs in the YaST software management. Please, have you updated your SuSE-10.1 software management (ie zen, rug, YaST .... ) ??

Haven't updated, but I'm pretty sure that I have the remastered one :S

If I was to update those programs how would I go about that? Like if I needed to?

The automatic downloads should work fine with the remastered SuSE-10.1.

If you are trying to install an rpm off of your hard drive, then download the rpm to your /home/username directory. If using kde, launch the konqueror file manager (house icon in lower left), and navigate to the rpm. Then:
right click (mouse cursor on the rpm file) > open with > install software

If that still doesn't work, you could check the file permissions... I had weird errors with certain RPMs because the permissions weren't correct.

right click on RPM file > Properties > File permissions

or by terminal:

chmod 755 /home/username/filename.rpm
