fou4s-0.12.6-1 works well on my SUSE 9.3.

There is a slight annoyance when adding the optional KDE packages
by activating the entry from the default fou4s.conf. I had a
similar problem with 9.2 as well.

SUSE has changed the version/subversion numbering to numeric values
behind a "-". Now fou4s keeps offering me packages that older and
have a smaller version number according to the new numbering.
Here an example:

kdelibs3               3.4.0-20.3    (3.4.0-23     ) [ok] security    15329kb
qt3                    3.3.4-11.3    (3.3.4-13     ) [ok] recommended  2979kb

Both of these packages will not be installed due to the timestamp
checking (installed version newer than update version). That is
okay, but they come along with "ERROR: Update failed" messages
and the message
"Warning: 2 updates failed. Please fix the problems and try again"
