Hi, I am installing 11.4 on a friend's computer that had 11.1 on it, as a format and fresh install of both the home and / partitions. It installs correctly, but when I add the software repository for KDE 4.6 release and then do zypper dup, it goes awry.
Why are you not just using KDE 4.6 from the main 11.4 OSS repo. ie. 11.4 shipped with KDE 4.6, so there is no need for extra repos.

Hi, I think that I must have misunderstood the correct repo to install. I installed 11.4 on my desktop at milestone 5 of 6, and added the 4.6 release repo to it. I thought that it was the correct repo to install at the time, but perhaps I was even mistaken about that. I just carried adding this repo installation to the 11.4 final version dvd install on this other computer.
When I added the 4.6 release repo to the milestone 5 of 6 11.4 installation, it did upgrade the kde version. I thought it went from a 4.5x number to 4.6x number, but time has passed and I am not sure of the exact number anymore.
Do you recommend taking that 4.6 release repo out of the repo list now?
11.4 shipped with KDE 4.6, so I don't know of any specific reason you would want to have the separate kde 4.6 repo also in your list.
If and only if you have a specific reason should you be including an extra repo. Obviously, when 4.7 comes out, you may want to add that one.
Perhaps he wants to have the latest KDE 4.6.x release? :-)
Cheers, Can't answer that question, he doesn't know the difference anyways. That is why I work on their computer for them.
I did find that the correct current repo is the following, so I removed the upstream release. Then I inserted this repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/UpdatedApps/openSUSE_11.4/ My reason for asking about removing the repo was because I wasn't sure if zypper could do the downgrade once the upstream release repo was removed, but it did just fine.
