When upgrading (YaST, ZEN, smart...): kdebase3-3.5.1-69 to kdebase3-3.5.1-69.15
i lost my screensaver.
Well, I'm on kdebase3-3.5.1-69.15, so if that's the source of the
that would explain it. I'm not well versed in doing manual upgrades. I always just update through YaST, unless I'm installing some 3rd party software from a different source. I also worry about dependencies at
stage of the game (i. e., maybe there are other packages that I have that are dependent on having this latest kdebase3 version). I guess I'll just hang in there and hope that a future patch clears up the problem, unless someone knows of some specific tweak I can make manually that will fix

Hi,
it's ok with YaST to manage the tweak.
Try it if you wish, you can always upgrade if you feel so.
Go to YaST-> Software Management
In the "filter" choose "Search"
Search for kdebase3. On the right pane, ensure "kdebase3" (the "single" one, not kdebase3-devel, etc) is highlighted.
Below that pane, you'll have several tabs, one is "Versions". Click on it.
Select the 3.5.1-69 (so, not the .15). Click "Accept".
This procedure will ensure your worries about dependencies will go well :-) If the result is not the expected (the recovery of the screensavers), you can update to the .15 again the same way, or by one of your choice.
Downgrading to 3.5.1-69 brought back my screensaver, so it would appear that you were right -- the kdebase-3.5.1-69.15 patch must have been what caused the screensaver to stop working.
There are other ways, though. You might want later to try "smart".
HTH,
Cheers, PatrickM
