Scroll down on this page: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories -->
KDE 4.2 Factory Develpoment.

   [ Those repositories are incompatible with the STABLE: repos, so
you can only use one at a time. ]

http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories --> KDE 4 Qt Packages

   [ If you are not developing and just want to use KDE 4.2, you
should use the KDE:/Qt44 repos instead. After the next online-
update you do not need any Qt repo for 11.1 + KDE 4.2   ]

More relevant for the KDE 4 Repo's, particularly in view of recent
release of KDE 4.2.

I agree with Gabor here: especially as openSUSE 11.1 has the option to
include KDE 3.5.x and KDE 4.x in the same installation. If the correct
repos (including Qt44 for the Qt repo's) aren't chosen, the
installation can be flawed/unstable...have experienced this myself.
Would be good if there was a Yast warning about this and similar
incompatibilities in repo's. Or maybe even better if Yast
automatically excluded/disabled a conflicting repo.
