On 15.6, which I'm running, you can use the Yast package manager to
search for knode with the "rpm provides" option, and find that it's
in the kde3pim package - which works perfectly well with the current
plasma (yecch!) version of kde.

Ah. I didn’t expect that. “kde3pim”, you say? Talk about dedication,
to keep stuff from KDE3 still installable and working on current
Plasma ...

Yes, openSUSE keeps kde3 alive thanks to the community.

nothing.

Are you sure your package is coming from the standard repo?

 It's not in the standard distro. It's in one of the auxillary
repositories  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/15.6/
 

Weird. Opi doesn't find it.
