Some people on the list have stated that you can safely install the kdebase3-SuSE package from the command line with the rpm --force option.
Be warned though that after doing this apt-get (and YOU) will complain about conflicting packages each time you try to install new updates so you may have to uninstall and re-install the package each time you try to use these tools.
Or.... you can add the line: Ignore {"kdebase3-SuSE"; }; to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/apt.conf ie: // with "apt-config dump" all settings can be viewed Acquire::CDROM::Copy "true"; Debug { pkgRPMPM "false"; } RPM { // Hold (do not update) a list with pkgs: // Hold { "k_deflt"; "sane"; }; // Leave list empty to disable Fake-Provides { "" } Ignore {"kdebase3-SuSE"; }; Options { }; Install-Options ""; Erase-Options ""; Source { Build-Command "rpmbuild --rebuild"; }; } and apt will ignore kdebase3-Suse -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
