Wouldn't it be better if SuSE simply pulled these severely broken rpms from the ftp site. beta rpms should never, never, ever overwrite the "production" version. As long as people see them in a semi-official ftp directory, they
You should never never install beta on a production system.
Indeed. Perhaps "production" was the wrong word to use. What I meant was the non-beta version. In this case kde 3.0.2 or 3.0.3.
Use YOU and no more packages, if you want to have a stable production system.
I agree. But the purpose of beta packages is to get people to test them, no? How many people will test the next beta if this one wiped their non-beta installation? As I said, no previous beta has behaved like this.
(I had 1 day time for these packages, our testers had no time at all for them ...)
If the beta packages are broken in the sense that they don't work I'm not complaining. I haven't complained in the past and I won't complain in the future. A beta is a beta and people realize that. But when they're broken in the sense that they overwrite non-beta parts of the system, that's too much. Better then that the packages aren't released at all. //Anders

If the 3.1 rpms (unstable) should be installed parallel next to the stable ones, the 3.1 rpms should be named different. So the unstable rpms do not replace the 3.0 rpms... Especially now they are availabe via apt as well (component kde-unstable).

<skipped the proposal> The before mentioned update proposal was frpm "apt-get dist-upgrade". The correct one is: The following packages will be upgraded arts arts-devel kdeadmin3 kdeartwork3 kdebase3 kdebase3-ksysguardd kdeedu3 kdegames3 kdegraphics3 kdelibs3 kdelibs3-devel kdemultimedia3 kdepim3 kdetoys3 kdeutils3 libart_lgpl libxslt And that one looks "normal". I'm sorry for the confusion, if that was caused to anyone. BTW: for those that build kde from source, the following file might be interesting: /etc/opt/kde3/common_options. It defines all kinds of (kde) directories. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
