Thanks so much for you help. Unfortunately, the kde apt repository you are referencing to has been decommissioned and no longer exists at all.
Have you checked kde.org? My understanding is the rpm packages hosted there are actually built at SUSE.
Yast on 9.3 does not work like yast does on 10.x and cannot use http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/ as an installation source.
Actually, 10.1 is the version where package/updates management changed. 9.3 package/update management works identically to 10.0 and it does uses the same repository format. Yes, KDE 'supplementary' *has* been moved... to where I don't know... but as I stated, above, it's worth checking kde.org. I've updated it in the past, manually via CLI using the program rpm, so I'm certain you can do this, too. ;-) FYI, I have all three versions installed in parallel on this system: 10.1 is in 'massage' mode pending complete resolution of the rug/zmd issues. 10.0 is my perfectly running and completely customized daily desktop system. 9.3, my former (equally customized) daily desktop, is booted weekly and kept current with respect to updates and maintained as my 'fallback' system. All three are running the same apps at the same versions and are linked to common data sets. regards, Carl
