Dear all,
I'm trying to upgrade from KDE 3.0.3 to version 3.1.1 in SuSE 8.0, and have downloaded the RPM packages from the LinuKS page http://www.suse.co.uk/uk/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_0/ base.html. However, given the problems some people on this list have reported with the upgrade, I'd like to proceed as cautiously as possible from here. Please point me towards some answers if you can.
1.) Installation - In which order do I install the RPMs? It probably makes sense to start with qt3, but what comes after that?
rpm -Uvh *rpm
2.) Dependencies - I can't find a list of required libraries on the SuSE pages referenced above. When I try to upgrade the qt3.rpm package, I receive an error message telling me that qt3.0.3 is required. That package is installed on my system! How come it isn't found?
See above, you need to do them all in one go.
3.) Caveats - Some people seem to have experienced some difficulty after the upgrade, including some fonts issues. Are there any potential conflicts or required upgrades outside KDE (e.g. Freetype) that I need to attend to before or after upgrading KDE?
KDE 3.1 -> kde3.1.1 has been the smoothest upgrade of them all for me ... No issues whatsoever (but then, Im running suse 7.3 (wth 8.0 Qt stuff) Currently listening to: Sweet Wine Gerhard, <faliquid@xs4all.nl> == The Acoustic Motorbiker == -- __O Programming today is a race between software engineers =`\<, striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, (=)/(=) and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
