I guessed the mail adress and did write an email to this account
and I found Reinhard Max . ;-) The funny aspect is, that he was just
building the packages so I could through away the packages I build before.

2 Hours later the ftp.suse.com was offering the new packages, which are
running fine, here.

Thanx for help, at least I know now how to build RPMs , which are "nearly"
working ;-)
