I've had all sorts of problems with package management within KDE. I'm this close to dumping SuSE altogether. It's such basic functionality that simply should not be a problem in 2011, yet we get this sort of behaviour. I can't say it strongly enough: this needs to be fixed.
So what problems did encounter and where did you report them?
I originally reported that it was not possible to update from within KDE if needing to accept an EULA when openSuSE 11.4 was released.
I don't encounter that 11.4 when using YAST to add/update, for example, Java from Oracle or, in the past, Sun. I don't recall encounter that problem in 11.1/2/3 either. I do have a problem with the Brightalk Webcasts telling me that my browser (FF) doesn't have Java installed. Funny, I run _other_ Java applications there and I don't know why Brightalk complains, but that has nothing to do with accepting the EULA.
I updated that bug during the 12.1 testing phase, but it was not resolved and is now in fact worse. The original report was closed and a new one was created to track the issue better.
I don't understand this lemming rush to upgrade to 12.1 for mission critical systems. I'm glad people _are_ upgrading and working out the problems, but in a more "corporate" setting I'd have though that a risk analysis - examining the upside and downside - would apply. Its clear that the hurdles of 12.1 make it unsuitable for an enterprise-wide upgrade of business and mission critical systems. This isn't odd. On the other hand 11.4 has matured and is stable and has a lot of fixes. Yes, installing from the old DVD will result in a lot of updates from the repositories, but so what? Perhaps you should cut a new DVD. -- "The top line is the value you give. The bottom line is the value you get.
