Listmates, Just a note for those upgrading to kde 4.3.5 with yast, especially those running 11.0 or 11.0. If you use yast -> software management -> Filter -> Repositories and select the kde4.3.5 (STABLE) repo and upgrade by choosing 'All in list -> Update if a Newer Version Available', you will be left with a broken desktop. This occurs if the normal opensuse 'update' repository is enabled due to the priority of the update repository being vastly greater (lower numerically) that any of the other repositories. What happens with 11.0 is the suse update repo has 4.0.4 kde4 packages and even though your newly added kde 4.3.5 repository has for example kdelibs-4.3.5, kdelibs and other critical packages are never updated and -- you run into problems. Some of the packages missed on upgrade due to this are critical: 10:38 alchemy:~/suse> rpm -qa --queryformat '%{installtime} (%{installtime:date}) %{name}\n' | sort -n | tail -n150 | grep ' 10:' | sed -e 's/^.*[)][ ]//' | sort akonadi-runtime arora automoc4 kde4-filesystem kde4-krep kdebase4-libkonq kdebase4-runtime kdepim4 kdiff3 kdiff3-lang kfax konqueror-plugins-lang ktorrent ktorrent-lang kvkbd libakonadiprotocolinternals1 libkde4 libkde4-32bit libkdecore4 libkdecore4-32bit libkdecore4-devel libkdepim4 libphonon4 libphonon4-32bit libpolkit-qt0 libQtWebKit4-32bit libraptor1 libraptor-devel libredland0 libredland-devel libsoprano4 libsoprano4-32bit libssh3 libssh-devel libstrigi0 libstrigi0-32bit libsvnqt6 phonon phonon-backend-xine plasmoid-quickaccess qt4-x11-tools qtcurve-kde4 raptor shared-mime-info soprano soprano-backend-redland strigi strigi-devel taglib tellico tellico-lang To work around the issue, a solid approach is to disable your update repository, then upgrade kde, then re-enable the update repo. I'm sure there is a slick zypper up or dup -r yournewkde435repo command that will do it as well, but for controlling dependencies, I generally like to go package by package in the installation summary with the 'versions' tab selected so I can insure a consistent upgrade. You will know you have been caught by this peculiarity if after upgrade you click on kwrite and instead of an editor, you get an error message saying no editor component can be found :p Hopefully this will help others during the upgrade process. -- David C.
