It seems a lot of people have been having problems after upgrading their SuSE 8.0 to KDE 3.0.2. I would like to comment on these briefly, since I am thinking of wrting a serious compliant letter to SuSE and I would like to hear your opinion.
Save your breath. The kde-3.0.2 updates from SuSE are not supported - it's made quite clear on the FTP server that you download and use the packages at your own risk. I don't know if YOU has a mechanism for getting that message across (I never use YOU).
Yes, it is possible to get a description of the available patches, so that you can decide whether you can install it. The description for KDE 3.0.2-1 was, I remember it well, empty. I suppose a two line message sayiing: "version update patch. Eventual problems not supported by SuSE", would not have cost much effort ...
