Hi,

IIRC, g-wrap and guppi are all packaged in with gnucash for SuSE.

Something to try when SuSE is being awkward with the packaging is to use the 
--force and --nodeps options to rpm. (YaST uses them, IIRC)

In general, using these options are not a particularly good idea, and don't be 
surprised if things don't work exactly - for example, if you have forced the 
install of GC, without having the openhbci libs on your system, then 
obviously, you shouldn't expect hbci links to your bank to work - and 
*possibly* could lead to crashes...

Make sure you use a bit of common sense, but I have resolved some similar 
circular dependencies this way in the past. (DVD-enabling Xine, I think)

Hope that helps,
Maf.
