Hi,

Third solution: wait until we get versioned libraries so 1.2.x and 1.3.x can 
be installed.

I am not a big fan of checkinstall on Suse. It is not so much installation, 
but removal that can in some cases make checkinstall rpms  ugly.

Better is to get Pascal Bleser's rpm from gwdg.de. These are differently 
contstructed, but carefully prepared rpms which wont break scribus or your 
system. (Pascal used to work for Suse)
