KDE 3.1 update for 8.0 : How ???
I have downloaded all the available rpms to my local HD. * Hoped I could do the update automagically with Yast..(?) * Tried manually with RPM only to receive lots of failure/dependencies messages. So my question is: Where do I start and how do I complete the job? mvh Kjell-Einar -- ||||||| \\ - - // ( @ @ ) +--------------oOOo-(_)-oOOo--------------+ Kjell-Einar Ofstad E-mail : Kjell-Einar.Ofstad@keo.no +------------------Oooo-------------------+ oooO ( ) ( ) ) / \ ( (_/ \_)
Hi Kjell-Einar,
I have downloaded all the available rpms to my local HD.

Depends on your gaminess. For me during the last 12 months (don't wanna be committed) a "rpm -Uhv --nodeps --force *.rpm; SuSEconfig" did it. Only once I had to reinstall older rpms from my SuSE DVD. But many might throw their hand's up in horror... ;) Kind regards Frank

Usually the best procedure is base-devel-apps in that order. Now many put the base & devel files together to cut down on the dependency warnings and then do apps. But whether you do them together or base then devel, be sure to run /sbin/SuSEconfig after you do install them. Then after doing apps, run it again. Usually everything will install cleanly, but if not use: rpm -Uhv *.rpm --nodeps and if that doesn't work, try rpm -Uhv *.rpm --nodeps --oldpackage (this is safer than --force, but it doesn't always work, so you may have to use --force later).
