Please take pity on the stupid

I've tried to update to KDE 3.1.4 from updates on SuSE and wrecked KDE Started with libs YaST Asked for newer Qt Installed newer Qt ("static" from elsewhere on SuSE) Retried to install libs YaST asked for newer Qt again Decided this must a transient issue and forced installation May I ask for suggested ways forward: Can I try and rebuild the RPM database? Can force install KDE 3.1.1 from SuSE 8.2 DVD and start again? May I ask why the process above (prior to the "force") didn't work? TIA
