Enterprise Desktop is based on something between 10.1 and 10.2, I don't 
think the 10.3 repository is compatible. Try again with 10.2 repository. 
There's no guaranty it works, we build against the openSUSE distros and 
not against the SLES/SLED ones.

You ignore requirements (conflicts) of the package and wonder it doesn't 
work?
There shouldn't be any conflicts, all you need is packman repository and 
the openSUSE ftp repository (not all packages are available on CD's or 
DVD, much more are missing in the enterprise versions).

Incompatible dbus versions in openSUSE 10.3 and SLED 10?
