I've been helping a friend move to SUSE 10.1 from Windows and the first time he ran the online update, it threw up a warning about kdebase package conflicts! I've just re-installed my machine from the DVD9 media, same as him, but my machine runs through and doesn't cause any problems... He is running an Athlon XP 2600+ and I'm on an Athlon XP 2000+. The only difference with the installs as afar as I can see is that I have installed "All of KDE", "Gnome Desktop" and "Kernel Development" on top of the default packages... Anyone any ideas where this problem is coming from? Here is what he wrote: Just booted into Linux and once again Online Update is warning me that there are three updates available. I've clicked on update and it notifies me that it's resolving dependencies and then displays the following error: Updating kdebase3-SuSE-10.1-58.i586[System packages] to kdebase3-SuSE-10.1-58.3.i586[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] A conflict over kdebase3-SuSE (kdebase3-SuSE <= 9.0) requires the removal of to-be-installed kdebase3-SuSE-10.1-58.3.i586[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] Establishing atom:kdebase3-SuSE-10.1-58.3.i586[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] kdebase3-3.5.1-69.i586[SUSE-Linux-10.1-DVD9-x86-x86_64-10.1-0-20060605-235538] conflicts with kdebase3-SuSE Marking resolvable kdebase3-3.5.1-69.i586 [SUSE-Linux-10.1-DVD9-x86-x86_64-10.1-0-20060605-235538] as uninstallable kdebase3-3.5.1-69.15.i586[System packages] conflicts with kdebase3-SuSE Establishing atom:kdebase3-3.5.1-69.15.i586[SUSE-Linux-10.1-Updates] Establishing atom:kdebase3-3.5.1-69.15.i586[System packages] This would invalidate atom:kdebase3-3.5.1-69.15.i586[System packages].
