with the introduction of the new SMESH a while ago MeshPart now depends on the VTK library. This is a somewhat tricky dependency which is not easy to meet on all Platforms. Hence it seems the OpenSuse guys disabled all relevant modules like FEM and MeshPart. Currently things need to be sorted out after this change, this may take a while. But I think it is a good idea to inform the opensuse freecad maintainers of the consequences of this disabling of th emodule. (I did not check yet if the freecad package is using VTK)
