I did a fresh install of SuSe 1.3 with only XFCE desktop. I installed the "LAMP Server" from the Installation menu.  next I installed Amarok and its dependencies (and it was not a showstpper if not installed with the full KDE).

Problems still occurring

1) I had to uninstall

2) the command line yast2 command syntax failed, but  I was able to isntall the packages one-by-one in te order specified

3) after rinstallation the service does no appear in YaST 'Service management' GUI. It definitely shold on SuSE.

Please test your RPMs for use in GUI environments.  Currently it is hardly usable here. Also consider that people may already have installed the server shipping with the distro. I guess i would work if KDE was not installed and MySQL/MariaDB also was not. I think it would be prefaerable if MariaDBs RPMs for SuSE had the same structure and dependencies as those shipped by SuSE so that existing installation could be upgraded. But that is a rather 'unqualified opinion'. You probably have reasons to do as you do.

Vælg blandt løsningerne ovenfor med nummer eller skip, forsøg igen eller annullér [1/2/s/f/a] (a): a  <<-- this 'a' prompts automatically (gives me no choice) and when I try same option from YaST GUI it just reinstalls what it just removed. This is after I removed Amarok and a few other KDE programs aswell as the old MariaDB server.. originally the conflict list was longer!

peter@linux-zayf:~/Skrivebord/MariaDB> 

I have tried different things from command-line and GUI, but it seems that I will need to remove a lot of KDE software making use of MySQL, if it shall be possible to continue. Else it will not let me remove mariadb-client-10.0.13. Did someone say *depencency hell* :-). 

It will probably be easier to do a fresh install of SuSE without KDE! Unless your RPMs can handle the conflicts (replacing themselves with what is already installed).Restoring snapshot!

I've tried to repeat this - but over ssh, so I used text-mode yast2.
Supposedly, selecting "install with packet manager" from the context
menu is equivalent to "sudo yast2 -i /path/to/file.rpm" (I don't know
for sure).

Here's the issue. MariaDB-server package depends on other MariaDB-*
packages. Normally yast or yum fetch dependencies automatically from a
repository. But you don't install from a repository, you install a
specific file. In this case yast cannot fetch dependencies. You have to
install either all packages in one command, like this:

  sudo yast2 -i MariaDB*server.rpm MariaDB*client.rpm MariaDB*common.rpm

or you can do it with GUI and a context menu - but you need to install
MariaDB*common.rpm first, then MariaDB*client.rpm, and only then you can
install MariaDB*server.rpm.

I tried both solutions - both worked.

Regards,
Sergei

P.S. Now, when we build for SuSE, I hope we will provide a proper
package repository and yast will be able to resolve dependencies automatically.
