How are you filtering the packages in Yast? If you choose "Patterns" for the filter, you will find a section for Graphical Environments, and the Gnome DE patterns below that.
Software Manager > RPM Groups > Metapackages > patterns-openSUSE-Gnome There seemed to be no other logical way of ensuring I got a full/default Gnome install since there is no One-Click for Gnome. Picking some random Gnome package and crossing my fingers that the rest of the default Gnome install is pulled with it as dependencies seems like a really poor way of installing Gnome as a second DE.
I have both Gnome and KDE4 installed, but not 'patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure.'
Which did you install first? Gnome or KDE4? If you installed KDE4 first, you will have patterns-openSUSE-kde4_pure installed. Once you've got both, you won't have that package since it conflicts with Gnome.
By the description, it is "installed if a pattern is selected to have a working update path." The package contains one file, '/usr/share/doc/packages/patterns-openSUSE/kde4_pure.txt.' I don't know why Gnome wants to remove it, but KDE will run without it.
It appears to be meaningless... if it's not needed why is it selected and installed with a default KDE4 install on 11.2? It's certainly caught a number of people tinkering with 11.2. I've found several Google hits on it while trying to figure out what it was and why it needed to be removed.
