I tried to hold off, I really did, I just couldn't stop myself. (SuSE 8.1 pro, xfree86 4.2.0, win4lin patched kernel 2.4.19-308) I use apt/synaptic for my updates.
I used Synaptic to upgrade to 3.1.4 for suse 8.1 the other night, when I checked in the morning Synaptic had apparantly hung. I logged out and back in.
At this point I recieved an error (in an x-window) "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation." I clicked Okay and kde loaded as it should.
I checked my ~/.xsession-errors and found the following...
kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3: undefined symbol: FT_Seek_Stream startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation. Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
I checked /usr/lib/qt3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 is where it should be kdeinit is in /opt/kde3/bin as expected
so I copied all of the new files to a new dir and ran # rpm --replacepkgs -Uvh *.rpm in the directory, after awhile kde pretty much locked up. (no mouse or keyboard control) I reset the machine, then
# init 3 # cd /dir/with/upgrade # rpm --replacepkgs -Uvh *.rpm recieved an error message I don't remember # rpm --rebuilddb # rpm --replacepkgs -Uvh *.rpm worked this time # /sbin/ldconfig # /sbin/SuSEconfig # reboot
At this point I trust that all of the files (qt, kde 3.1.4 upgrades) have been installed properly but I still get the error message. It only happens at login (for all users, not just me) and everything else seems to be working as expected.
I'd like to get rid of this error but at least things seem to work. Any Ideas?
PS In regards to Richard Bos question, The packages you found are the same as those I find available in synaptic, I guess some haven't been updated yet.

Just to add another bit of information to this post. I did the same upgrade and got the same message "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation.", one interesting side affect was that my second display stopped displaying kde all together. Display 0 worked. I ended up rolling back the changes as this was not what I need. Also found that the qt3-3.2.1-devel-doc would not install at all, something about not being able un cpio the files.
