See the attached list below. Just don't understand why all of those packages must be downgraded or the newer ones not installed. Never had this kind of problem before and I do use Packman, especially for the crippled SuSE video packages.
I completely update KDE3 relatively frequently without any problems. Currently I'm on 3.5.9 and I'm happy with it. I need to start a separate post on 3.5.10 to see if it is good to go. About a week ago someone was complaining about problems with it. So we will see. For your information, I have the following repositories added:

I just scrolled through your conflicts list and picked out "kdebase3-runtime-3.5.10-24.4.x86_64 requires libldap-2.3.so.0()(64bit)" .. I then searched with http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ ,which is a very useful tool in this case, for libldap-2.3.so.0 under opensuse 10.3 and found it in package openldap2-client-64bit (2.3.37) <http://packages.opensuse-community.org/packageinfo.jsp?checksum=f9c2ac5b1e 9079f66814ab4c67a4d51b1e3e9748&distro=openSUSE_103> so this is the package you want for 10.3. Next I looked for openldap2-client under 11.0 and discovered that version 2.4.9 is in 11.0 and matches the line "downgrade of openldap2-client-2.4.9-7.1.x86_64 to openldap2-client-2.3.37-20.8.x86_64" From this I conclude that you have at some stage done a one click install of something maybe and no longer have the repository. The package kdebase3-runtime-3.5.10-24.4.x86_64 is only listed as being present in 11.0, 10.3 only has 32 bit versions, try searching for kdebase3-runtime under 11.0 and 10.3 and you will see what I mean. This line further down in your conflict gives a clue "OpenOffice_org-2.4.0.14-1.1.x86_64 requires libldap-2.4.so.2()(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided". So it seems thats where the problem is. OpenOffice 2.4 is the 11.0 version and 2.3 is the 10.3 version. Whichever repository you got version 2.4 from needs to be enabled. Excuse me if you have already done this but can you post the output of zypper lr .
Thanks for replying Dave, and your analysis of the conflict list.
So, are you saying I have a mixture of 10.3 and 11.0 packages installed? And the solution is to enable the 11.0 repositories? Or is the solution to let everything be downgraded to get back to a pure 10.3 system?

Well you must have got office 2.4 from somewhere as well, maybe as part of the one click install? There does seem to be 10.3 versions packages available for openladap-client-2.4 and other missing libraries, so if you're feeling adventurous you can hunt the missing library packages down using http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ and try installing them via one click, making sure that you keep the repositories they came from enabled but if you start to get a lot more conflicts stop. It may even be better to simply upgrade to 11.0 as openoffice packages are amongst the largest ones on the system. Don't enable the 11.0 repos if you want to stay on 10.3, the safest move is to only have your original 10.3 repos and packman or videolan if you have used them from the begining and simply follow yast's advice. The rule is :- if you installed something from a certain repository then keep that repository enabled and if you uninstall something from a build service repo that was installed via one click then make sure that repository is disabled when you uninstall to ensure your system goes back to where it was. Remember the rule, if you have a package installed from a particular repo then make sure that repo is enabled otherwise you may lose dvd, audio and video functions. I would also advise enabling the dvd repository if you decide to follow yast's suggestions. My suggestion would be remove your build service and community repositories, enable 11.0 repos including packman and videolan (edit your old ones and simply change 10.3 to 11.0), download an 11.0 dvd and upgrade to 11.0. I see only 11.0 kde 3.5.10 packages available and not 10.3. Warning once again "Do not enable 11.0 repositories if you do not want to upgrade" and if you wish to try to install missing dependencies then go through the list one by one, search for the 10.3 version via http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ and add the repository it comes from, then try yast again.
