A bunch of the not-core packages in KDE:Release:45 have lower release numbers than the ones in openSUSE-oss standard repo (e.g. yast2-control-center-qt), just ignore it. Just make sure you don't see anything surprising in "zypper dup --from KDE_Release_45".
I get
1 package to upgrade, 102 to downgrade, 1 new, 1 to reinstall, 1 to remove, 11 to change vendor, 1 to change arch
I think that since the "102 to downgrade" are all KDE/qt apps and libraries then YES this is surprising.
Odd - are you really running KDE SC4.5 at all then? Make sure all your repo priorities are the same, then at the zypper prompt enter "d" (for details) and look at the vendor strings. If it is changing things to KDE:Release:45 then you didn't get upgraded properly in the first place (or maybe you switched from KDE:Distro:Factory without a dup?)
Quite possibly - I don't recall.
So what should I do about it?
Well, whatever I've done has resulted in a mess. I must have got out of phase somewhere since I had problems with kdm_greeter no finding the right libraries.
Now I'm logged in and the GTK apps - firefox and thunderbird, oh and Inskape, Skype and OpenOffice - are a mess. Firefox crashes at the slightest thing ... not always consistently. I can't always click on a link and can't manipulate bookmarks or add-ons.
Both apps have unusable menus. Whenever I click on a pull-down, but it the menu, the location bar, the search bar or a form-field "select", I get pixeleated garbage. Its as if some slice of video memory from somewhere is mid in with another slice, neither of which correspond to anything to do with the menu being used, are jumbled there in its stead.
I don't seem to have this problem with the KDE applications like Konqueror/Dolphin, konsole, the KDE games, KOffice.
Just a guess, but do you have "GTK Styles and Fonts" installed & configured? As far as getting the apps versions aligned, you could try running YaST Software Management, click the Repo's tab, select the 4.5 respin repo, and then at the top of the list select "switch system packages to this repository". Unless the tree itself is out of whack (as it was unintentionally last week), that should get you KDE 4.5.2. (along with qt 4.6, and the kontact suite at 4.4.6). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
