I'm using apt (synaptic) to upgrade some of my upgradeable files (alsa,apt,cups-drivers,audacity,gimp,k3b,openvpn,synaptic). But in every instance apt insists on also upgrading arts,art-devel,kdebas3,kdebase3-devel,kdelib3, and kdelib3-devel. It wants to upgrade the kde packages to 3.3.0-1, I'm using 3.2.3-7; Suse 9.1.
Should apt/synaptic be insisting to upgrading the kde and art packages to upgrade the programs I tried to upgrade? For example, why should I have to update the kde packages to 3.3.0-1 for synaptic, a frontend for apt? Is there a problem here?
Remove the component 'kde' from your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
Using synaptic for this do: settings -> repository -> select the active uri's (e.g. gwdg.de) -> remove form the sections 'kde'
The only components needed for a basic suse (comparable with you) are 'base' and 'update'

Richard, I don't have the kde component in my repository unless you mean kdegnome2. Here is my sources.list: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386 update security base kdegnome2 xfree86 usr-local-bin suser-rbos funktronics mantel-kernel mozilla packman packman-i686 security-prpm update-prpm wine suser-kpietz suser-tcousin suser-scorot suser-sbarnin suse-people suse-projects ftp://mirrors.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386 update security I don't know what you mean by 'basic suse (comparable with you)'. Is your suggestion a objective solution or relative to the 'basic suse' idea? Jerome
