Oops!,I didn't mean to say the result is a mess! That was from a previous draft of this report. There was a problem going on that made using KDE almost impossible but it resolved itself after doing some further updates. Marc....

I just finished an attempt to UPGRADE my ASUS laptop from 15.5 to 15.6 and the result is a mess! During the installation process I did run into one problem (see below) where YaST was unable to remove one package and I had to choose the IGNORE option in order to proceed with the rest of the installation. This problem continues to persist. After installation and reboot the laptop was able to bring up the KDE Wayland desktop.

During the installation, and afterwards when I use YaST to install additional software I get the following conflicts error message -

#### YaST2 conflicts list - generated 2024-10-09 13:00:05 ####

the to be installed apache2-mod_php7-7.4.33-150400.4.37.1.x86_64 requires 'php = 7.4.33', but this requirement

When I choose the first option - deinstallation of apache2-mod_php7-7.4.33-150400.4.37.1.x86_64 I then get the following error message -

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Command exited with status 1.

  error: apache2-mod_php7-7.4.33-150400.4.37.1.x86_64: erase failed

I am pretty sure YaST is trying to remove an old version of this apache2-mod_php7 ... file but for some unknown reason it can't

Thanks in advance for any and all offers to help me.   Marc C
