yast2 -i python-lxml is deprecated, one should use “zypper in python-lxml” instead. And the second package is installed better with “rpm -ivh nagstamon-0.8.2-2.noarch.rpm” (depending on the version, of course). The rason for that is that since SUSE 10.1 zypper is the software in the middle, so to install a package from a known repository you should use zypper, and fro packages lying around on the disk, rpm -i was always the best choice

Replying to myself here, the fix for Debian Sid is to install the package, ‘librsvg2-common’.

I’ve written up a quick HowTo for Debian Sid on my blog at http://gnuski.blogspot.com/2009/08/nagstamon-nagios-status-monitor-on.html

On Debian, you need to install at least these packages:
shell$ sudo aptitude install python-setuptools python2.5 python-gnome2-extras python-lxml

I would imagine some of these or similar packages are needed on SuSE also, especially since you have KDE4′s menu, you’d need the GNOME packages.

However, I still cannot get the app to run:

shell$ nagstamon
No module named Nagstamon
