Hi all! I did my regular check for updates and found a new KDE version available. I'm using fou4s (SuSE 9.1) to update but this is what I get: error: Failed dependencies: kdelibs3-arts is needed by kdelibs3-devel-3.4.2-25 mDNSResponder is needed by kdelibs3-devel-3.4.2-25 I don't find those packages anywhere. At least the kdelibs3-arts I expected to be somewhere in the supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1 hierarchy... While in principle I think the KDE updates work nicely (quickly available, for all supported SuSE versions, a lot easier than at SuSE 7.2 times) there's almost always a problem with dependencies. Maybe someone remembers, but I already complained here in this list when the QT updates suddenly depended on xorg and not on XFree that shipped with SuSE 9.1. My solution was to compile the QT-SRC-RPM and fix this dependency myself. That option no longer was available when also KDE packages started to depend on xorg. Compiling this, too, would have taken too long. So I ended up upgrading to xorg. That alone wasn't too bad, but it took me three afternoons to get a fully working combination of X, KDE, ATI 3D drivers, Kernel and an RPM database without conflicts/dependency problems. To me this is just too much effort for a simple (semi?) official update. I don't know if similar problems happen in the not-so-old SuSE versions, but for the sake of the average customer I suggest to get rid of such unnecessary difficulties. My 2 cents...

doing the same with yast2 on a suse 9.2, i had the very same problem. looks like someone @ suse forgot to upload those packages to the ftp server. bye,
