Why are you trying to install SuSE rpms on your Debian system? Do you
try to place the engine of your mercedes by an engine from ferrari? Yes,
both are cars, working by the same principles, but their components are
differntly designed.

Please take a look at www.backports.org and get your packages from
there.


Yours sincerely,
