I had exactly the same result as you yesterday. I tried a few times with no luck so I resorted to doing a fresh install via DVD in the end. I then added the Factory KDE4 repo to get the the latest KDE4 - Yast doesn't install anything from this repo no matter what priority i set so i had to use "zypper dup" to get it.
up and patch does _not_ perform vendor changes!
while dup does.
From man zypper on a openSUSE 11.2 system:
dist-upgrade (dup) [options] Perform a distribution upgrade. This command applies the state of (specified) repositories onto the system; upgrades (or even downgrades) installed packages to versions found in reposito- ries, removes packages that are no longer in the repositories and pose a dependency problem for the upgrade, handles package splits and renames, etc.
If no repositories are specified via --from or --repo options, zypper will do the upgrade with all defined repositories. This can be a problem if the system contains conflicting reposito- ries, like repositories for two different distribution releases. This often happens if one forgets to remove older release repos- itory after adding a new one, say openSUSE 11.1 and openSUSE 11.2.
To avoid the above trouble, you can specify the repositories from which to do the upgrade using the --from or --repo options. The difference between these two is that when --repo is used, zypper acts as if it knew onle the specified repositories, while with --from zypper can eventually use also the rest of enabled repositories to satisfy package dependencies.
Lars I used "dup" to get from 11.1 to 11.2 but i didn't realise that you needed it to get KDE4 factory updates -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
