error: Failed dependencies: xorg-x11-Mesa-devel is needed by qt3-devel-3.3.4-20

well, i dunno about suse 9.1 but i upgraded to xfree 6.8.2 with the rpm packages in supplementary/X on two 9.2 machines without problems. you might want to try it. don't forget to upgrade the accompanying sax packages, they're in supplementary as well.

Sure, that workaround should always be possible. But I don't see it as a proper solution that I need to upgrade all X packages if qt3-devel has a broken dependency. That is, I assume the dependency is broken, as older qt3-devel packages from the same supplementary/KDE repository correctly depended on XFree86-Mesa-devel, not xorg-x11-Mesa-devel. Another possibility of course would be to grab the SRPM and fix this myself. Still I'd prefer one central solution instead of having (maybe less experienced) people stumble over this whenever they try to simply update their KDE (which works extremely well otherwise!).

Hi all,

I have a problem updating from the supplementary/KDE repository. I use

ftp.gwdg.de /pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update _f or_9.1

What fails are the QT3 packages:

Installing the following 5 package(s): qt3-3.3.4-20.i586.rpm qt3-devel-3.3.4-20.i586.rpm qt3-devel-doc-3.3.4-20.i586.rpm qt3-devel-tools-3.3.4-20.i586.rpm qt3-static-3.3.4-19.i586.rpm

************************ * ERROR: Update failed * ************************

error: Failed dependencies:         xorg-x11-Mesa-devel is needed by qt3-devel-3.3.4-20

I don't know how to resolve this. It seems to me like a bug as SuSE 9.1 came with XFree, not X.org. XFree86-Mesa-devel is installed on my system. I don't feel too happy to install with --nodeps but would prefer if the dependency could be fixed (or is the policy to upgrade XFree to X.org also for older SuSE versions?).

Hi Ingo, have you tryed not to update qt3-*. Probably you can yust keep the old version without any Conflicts

P.s : I have just tried to upgrade via Yast to kde3.4.1 , and received the same Error. To keep the old Version is not possible ... But, when you go to ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/9.1-i386/RPMS.kde3-stable you will get the Version qt3-3.3.4-17 instead of 3.3.4-20. I guess with this on a upgrade should be possible. So, you can Upgrade your KDE with apt , or, if you don't use apt, you can just download the directory to a local folder, and integrate this folder as a Installation Source in Yast instead of the Supplementary FTP Source ...
