Hello all, I've seen some KDE 3.0.2 packages are already in the SuSE ftp: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.0 How can you install this packages from YOU in a clean methodic way? I tried to run the online update in expert mode and write the path above to download the packages with no success. Cheers, Pep Serrano. -- Best Regards, Josep F Serrano http://pep.serrano.net

Don't know about YOU. I think it's simpler to run rpm -Fvh ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.0/base/* ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.0/applications* all in one line, off course. Or if you want something really squeaky clean use apt. http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm -- For 20 dollars, I'll give you a good fortune next time ...

You can't install from the supplementary directories with YOU. There have been vague talk of a new module for yast2 being developed, but until that happens you're stuck with downloading the rpms manually and installing them. regards Anders
Hi again, Ok, so I downloaded the modules and now how do I install them? I tried rpm -Fvh * as suggested in thread but get a lot of warnings about dependencies... Yes... I guess your answers: use "-force" method... Isn't it brute force ? I mean, in the end all dependencies are OK? I tried using you update module, configuring hard disk source in the expert window. It doesn't work. Can YOU install/update packages from harddisk at least? On Friday 05 July 2002 16:05, Anders Johansson wrote:

No, you shouldn't use --force unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing. That option can easily destroy things. --nodeps is the option to use to ignore dependencies, which isn't as destructive, but should nevertheless only be used if you know what you're doing. Note that if you have any -devel packages installed you need to install development/*.rpm and base/*.rpm at the same time to avoid dependency errors. If you do install from the development directory, you should probably first remove the qt-man and qt-designer packages, as they clash with their qt3 counterparts.

Theoretically, you could put the packages in a YOU directory structure and create patch files to allow YOU to see them. Take a look at the files in the patches/ directory in the update tree to see what you'd need to do. //Anders

The way I did it was to download all of the base/* application/* & development/* files to a single local directory and then run kpackage, selected the packages I wished to install/upgrade and told it to install. Then I stopped KDE, ran SuSEconfig and restarted KDE.
