Hello everybody,
I got Suse 8.1 and wanted to install KDE 3.1. However, as the new packages are not yet available with Yast2 Update I got the RPMs from kde.org meant for Suse 8.1.
I ran into several problems, for example no matter how often I installed the multimedia-devel RPM YAst did not notice it and kept its 3.0.3. Another thing is that there does not seem to be a kdemultimedia rpm for the 3.1 release but Yast shows one for 3.0.3, thus I cannot update it should I uninstall it?
The kdeaddons-konqueror rpm is not recognised by Yast after installing it and the 3.0.3 is still shown as being installed. This actually happens to quite a lot of KDE3.1's rpms.
After re-installing Suse I got konstructor to do the KDE 3.1 install which got me KDE 3.1 running but no Yast, so this is no option.
What am I doing wrong? should I first download all KDE3.1 rpms, use Yast to uninstall all of KDE3 and then install 3.1?
How did you do it when upgrading to 3.1? Konqueror > Install using Yast...?
When will the 3.1 packages be available with Yast?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Sven, After installing 8.1, you might want to do an online update with YaST2, before updating to 3.1 KDE. I think most of us have done that prior to the update, which should take your 3.0.3 to 3.0.5 and offer some bug fixes, security fixes, etc. That should make the move to 3.1 a little less painful than you seem to have experienced. I can't guarantee you that will help, but if it were me, I think I would do that first just to be sure I was up to date from SuSE before getting those 3.1 files installed.
