I've had all sorts of problems with package management within KDE. I'm this close to dumping SuSE altogether.
I'm confused by what you say. I'm a KDE user. I use Zypper (from the command line) and Yast to do updates. The command line has nothing to do with KDE. Yast is a GUI that can run under KDE, Gnome, LXDE or even in terminal mode.
It's such basic functionality that simply should not be a problem in 2011, yet we get this sort of behaviour.
What behaviour? Are you reporting/tracking/following up on bug reports?
I can't say it strongly enough: this needs to be fixed. openSuSE 11.3 is out of support soon, and if 12.1 isn't fixed in short order, there will be NO version of SuSE available which has package management working from within KDE.
Well KDE aside, I use 11.4, quite reliably, and have for some while. And intend to for some while yet. So your issues seem overblown to me.
I have dozens of users I've been holding off updating,
Do you mean updating or upgrading?
and I can't start shipping
That sound more like "installing".
until this problem is fixed! Please, do continue to report issues you encounter, because the more people are prepared to report, perhaps the issue will receive proper attention.
Have you tried 11.4? If not why not? -- If you need to be told what your values are the implication is that you don't hold them right now. If you hold your values strongly enough, you don't need to print them out and stick them on a wall. If everyone shares them, they don't need to read them off a wall, either. -- Marcus J.
