Thanks, the commands given worked! (I noticed the same commands In a script already downloaded in one of the YaST directories, but apparently it just never ran it. hmmm?)
Unfortunately, I still can't install KDE 3.0.4 because it no longer shows up in the list of available updates in YOU. Any ideas? Can I make somehow force it to recognize the KDE-3.0.4 upgrade package?
Thanks for your help,
Lowell

Dear Alleman and list,
Rafael Herrera provided the answer to the YOU errors. Follow the instructions below : Let me do a bit of translation for the GUI users (you know who you are):
{case and capitalization matter} Browse to the /var/adm/YaST directory then create these new directories: ProDB SelDB now browse to the /var/adm/YaST/ InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DESCRIPTION directory (that is all one line, no spaces) copy the file called "description" to the clipboard ( use 'edit-copy' option) now browse back to /var/abm/YaST/ProdDB directory and paste the description file there (use 'edit-paste' option) now rename it to 'prod_00000001' now browse to /var/adm/YaST/InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DATA/desc directory, then 'select all' from the edit function, then do 'edit-copy' to put all the *.sel files in the clipboard (this will select other files but that won't hurt, you can manually select only *.sel files if you want) now browse to /var/adm/YsST/SelDB and use 'edit-paste' to paste the *.sel files in the SelDB dir.
Now if you have directories named IS_CACHE_0x0000000X where X is a number higher than '1' copy the files from the dir IS_CACHE_0x0000000x of the highest number.
This worked perfectly for me, and doing it in Konqi made it MUCH easier for my dyslectic brain! Thanks again Rafael,

The commands are, all are single line:

mkdir ProdDB
mkdir SelDB
cp InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DESCRIPTION/description ProdDB/prod_00000001
cp InstSrcManager/IS_CACHE_0x00000001/DATA/descr/*.sel SelDB
Someone indicated that if you have directories IS_CACHE_0x00000001, IS_CACHE_0x00000002, ..., you should copy the files from the directory with the highest number.
On the machines I had this problem, an update from 7.3 and another update from 8.0, there was only one directory.
Good luck, PeterB
I also noticed it disappeared from the list of options. I already downloaded parts of it, but now it's gone. I wonder if it was removed by SuSE?

kde-3.0.4 is available for download, but appearantly not via YOU. In that case you can e.g. use the Advanced Package Tool (apt) to get kde upgraded. In case kdelibs is still broken, make sure that you "hold" or "pin" kdelibs to its current version.
use
RPM { HOLD { "kdelibs"; }} in /etc/apt/apt.conf
