I changed the subject of the e-mail because it is not related to the KDE
discussion.

Ok, I started using apt on my 9.3 32bit installation.  Somehow my
/etc/ld.so.conf file was really wrong.  It was pointing to
/usr/i486-suse-linux and /usr/i486-suse-linux-ld5, neither of which
exist on my system, and it was missing some of the more useful library
paths such as the X11 and /usr/lib entries.

Could apt have caused this to happen or was it most likely something
else?  I was using apt to install MythTv (which wound up not being
successful due to missing pieces, but that's another issue).  I've been
using a mixture of apt and yast to install the missing dependencies as
I've been building and installing manually.

yes, that's inherent to apt ;)  But on suse you can use in most cases
'apt' 
instead of apt-get, apt-cache, apt-config, etc.
- apt update
- apt install
- apt search
- apt dump
etc
