I've been away interstate for several days; returned home, on starting the system (11.0, 32-bit, KDE4.1) that there were some ~90 upgrades to be installed. OK, let's get them installed, I thought.

Are you using the KDE:Factory repository?
Yes - and been using it for a long time.
Then, I'm sorry to say, you are not using 11.0 and, IMHO, the fault is entirely yours, because you have corrupted a stable distro version with repos from another distro version; worse, from the very unstable factory.
Use either 11.0 or factory, not a mix. If you add repos to 11.0, add repos prepared for 11.0, not for factory.
Then it is time for openSUSE to stop this damn nonsense about what is "official" and what is "not official" when it comes with they make available to users as part of the "official" release of openSUSE Vxx. I, personally, am getting just a bit p***** off with this discrimination of what is "official" and what is "not official". I installed openSUSE 11.0 from the "official" release of the "official" DVD. I installed in the first instance the KDE 3.x during the installation. I then installed KDE4x immediately after installing the above. I then used the available repositories shown in YaST to keep upgrading KDE4. Unlike in earlier versions of SuSE/openSUSE, I am NOT using "unofficial" versions of Firefox, Thunderbird or OpenOffice. On *this* installation of 11.0 I do not even have the Sun version of VirtualBox installed (or even the Novell version). What I have installed is the stock-standard version of openSUSE 11.0 and with it being upgraded with whatever is made available though YaST and zypper. This I did to ensure to see what happened when someone installed openSUSE as a new user. Having said this, I have to admit that I do not remember if I did add - apart from the packman repository from the wiki to be able to handle multi-media (like DVDs etc) - some repository mentioned in this or another openSUSE maillist, but from my perspective in this installation of openSUSE I wanted to NOT deviate from anything not provided for in the v11.0 installation and then upgraded by zypper (I do NOT have smart installed as I did in the past). Perhaps my memory fails me - in which case I am sorry - but from my perspective everything which I am using is from openSUSE (except for the packman stuff).
