Easier solution:
from a command line:
#rpm -e scribus
then look here:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mrdocs/Mandriva_2009/
for 1.3.3.13.
then download and install with rpm -ivh scribus*
There is currently some issue with 1.3.3.13 not building on Mdv 2009 on i586.
64bit package compiled fine. I have triggered a rebuild and you might see a
new package in the next few hours.
