There may be other things but these are the things I noticed. You could extract some of the files from the rpm and install yourself.
Just reinstall kdebase3-SuSE with '--force' after you have finished the upgrade to 3.3. No ill effects are apparent or have been reported.
Unfortunately, there is one issue with displaying HTML pages in Konqueror. When I use the original kdebase3-SuSE with Suse 9.0/KDE 3.3, this crashes Konqueror, because of the krpmview plugin. There is a special kdebase3-SuSE RPM, that does not have dependency issues (you don't need --force) and that does not contain the offending krpmview plugin: ftp://packman.iu-bremen.de/testing/SuSE_8.2_kde_3.3_missing/rpm/ ftp://packman.iu-bremen.de/testing/SuSE_9.0_kde_3.3_missing/rpm/ Thomas
