I have the pre-release KDE 3.5 installed OK on SuSE 9.3. Got it from SuSE supplementary source via YaST's "Install and Remove Software" about a week ago.
Now I want to update to the official 3.5 release but ran into a problem. It has a missing dependency: kdebindings3-python requires python-qt which is apparently not available. The pre-release 3.5 version does not have this package but it also didn't call it out as a dependency.
kdebindings3-python is required in turn by hplip -- needed by CUPS to support my HP Laserjet printer.
So, it seems I cannot install the official KDE 3.5.
Does anyone have a way around this?

Well, things have gone down hill! I decided to take all the advice and not install the kdebinding3-python package. Unfortunately when I now run "Install and Remove Software" I get some *additional* missing dependencies and conflicts. Here is a summary. Yes, it does read like nonsense. + installed not available + is not available + not not available + k3b 0.12.8-3b.pm.2 conflict + kdebindings3-python 3.5.0-8 conflict + python-qt not available two days ago I only got the last one (or two) messages. Clicking on the "+" next to k3b gives an interesting result: k3b requires is k3b requires not k3b requires installed My *guess* is that someone updated k3b on the servers but got the rpm SPEC file wrong. It thinks it requires three packages named "is", "not", and "installed"! I tried the main SuSE ftp site and two mirrors and got the same results. Just in case something went wrong with my system I tried "rpm --rebuilddb" but that made no difference.
