Hi Thanks for the reply, but KPackage does not appear to be used with SuSE (KPackage is not included in the SuSE distribution. A search for RPMs showed versions for Red Hat and Yellow Dog, but nothing for SuSE). As to using RPM to install the files, yes, I used -U to get the remaining files installed. I noted that the file kdebase3-SuSE is NOT updated with the 3.2.x RPMs that SuSE provides. Nor could I find a 3.2.x update for the file with rpmfind or other on the net. When I attempt to use YaST (without Konqueror) to install kdebase3-SuSE it returns a file conflict with the old kdebase3 ver 3.1.4 files. After some thought it seems that there is a problem with X here and that the system is not allowing YaST as an XApp to come up with Konqueror. If anyone has any other suggestions they would be appreciated. Thanks Mike On Monday 31 May 2004 02:48, Thomas Janssen wrote:

Try KPackage
Anyone know the x app to call for YaST2? It appeared to be /sbin/YaST2 but it isn't working. I get the prompt to enter admin password, but nothing happens from then on.
Alternatively, does anyone know the shell syntax for rpm to remove old conflicting copies as well as to install the new apps, etc? I am using
rpm -ivh <file>.rpm
it tells me the conflicting files but then bombs.
man RPM
