No. the new repo is install ed with:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE/Distro/Factory/openSUSE_11.3 kde45>. What is optional is installation of another repo, which is called "Extra", the purpose of which is not explained.
what i suspected: you tried to upgrade to KDE 4.5.85, also known as KDE
4.6 beta2. when that article was posted, that was where KDE 4.5 lived; now
it doesn't anymore.
and this still could have worked out ok, but you did "zypper dup" with all
your repos enabled. in that case, zypper doesn't really know what you want
to upgrade to which version, and i have no idea what the solver process
came up with.
IMO, what you should do now is do "zypper dup" with only the standard
repos enabled (oss, non-oss), then add the packman (and any other repos
you need) and upgrade their packages. then add the real KDE 4.5.4 repo to
yast:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/45/openSUSE_11.3/
[assuming you're on openSUSE 11.3; too lazy to look up the whole thread
now.]
then run "zypper dup" or switch all packages to the KDE 4.5 repo via yast.
(i find the latter safer, since it's easier to see and edit potential
problems than with zypper output.)
