<snip gnome conflicts> <snip kde conflicts>

The gnome conflicts come from having both ximian and usr-local-bin as package sources. Remove one of them from /etc/apt/sources.list (I recommend removing ximian, but that's a matter of taste) and re-run apt-get update.

I am using Ximian XD2. If I remove ximian, won't that leave me a little out of sync

Most of the kde conflicts are coming from the ktamaga package, which seems to want to provide darn near everything all over again. Don't install it, unless you can't live without a tamagotchi emulator. The other conflict seems to come from trying to install kdepim. In KDE 3.1.1, kdepim is one package, whereas in 3.1.3 it is broken up into seperate components. Don't install kdepim3-3.11. One way to accomplish these is to edit the Hold section of /etc/apt/apt.conf

e.g,:

{ // Hold (do not update) a list with pkgs: // Hold { "k_deflt"; "sane"; }; // Leave list empty to disable Hold {"kdepim3-3.1.1"; "ktamaga"; };

Another way would be to use Synaptic to manually choose which packages you want to update. If you don't have it installed, just run "apt-get install synaptic".

It seems apt doesn't know about or doesn't recognize some of the packages but it sees the dependencies they have.

code (208)

First of all: get rid of all the ximian packages! Although Ximian says these are compatible with SuSE, the packages are installed in different locations and have different dependencies then the original SuSE packages (BAD!) If you want to use Gnome AND have the latest stuff and still have full SuSE compliancy, go with the packages from http://www.usr-local-bin.org, made by the fabulous Mr. James Ogley (!). Since you have usr-local-bin already in your /etc/apt/sources.list it's a piece of cake to install them. 2. remove kdepim3-3.1.1-76 3. Try to remove (or later on NOT install) ktamaga-0.7.2-90 4. now try to upgrade your system again with apt-get/synaptic. If this goes OK you have a clean system. If not, try to figure out what the new error messages say or mail the error messages again. Marcel

Thanks to everyone that responded with advice. I am still having issues. A few people suggested that I remove the Ximian elements, but I am running Ximain XD2. If it will not hurt to remove them, I will.. but I am not sure how to remove them. 1. I took Ben R.'s advice and my new /etc/apt/sources.list has everything commented out except the following .. UW PICO(tm) 4.4 File: /etc/apt/sources.list rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/8.2-i386 base update kde3-stable kde mozilla packman packman-i686 security xfree86 usr-local-bin After I replaced that list I removed ktmaga by executing 'rpm -e ktamaga' 2. I took Scott J.'s advice and my new /etc/apt/apt.conf has this in it.. RPM { // Hold (do not update) a list with pkgs: // Hold { "k_deflt"; "sane"; }; // Leave list empty to disable Hold {"k_deflt"; "ktamaga"; "kdepim3-3.1.1"; }; 3. After I edited these two files I ran 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'.

3. After I edited these two files I ran 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'. Here is the new output ...

The output shows you that the packages that have conflicts: Installed New gnome-vfs2-extras-0.99.10-0.ximian.7.5 gnome-vfs-extras-0.99.10-SuSE.ulb.1 kdepim3-3.1.1-76 kdepim3-sync-3.1.3-18 kdepim3-3.1.1-76 kdepim3-time-management-3.1.3-18 libgtkhtml3.0_2-3.0.8-0.ximian.7.1 gtkhtml3.0-3.0.8-SuSE.ulb.1 libmrproject-0.9.1-0.ximian.7.7 mrproject-0.9.1-55

I just made a update to my "apt" script that provides the above output. It can be obtained by adding the option --rpm-whatconflicts together with the actions install, upgrade and the like. See: --rpm-whatconflicts Shows a list with packages that have conflicting files according rpm. This option comes in handy when an install or upgrade complains that file X from package A conflicts with package B. If this happens use this options to obtain a list that shows the conflicting installed and install candidate package. linux: # apt --rpm-whatconflicts install ktamaga The following packages have conflicting files: Installed Install Candidate ---------- ------------------ kdelibs3-3.1.3-48 ktamaga-0.7.2-90 The script can be obtained from (see remark below first, you need version 0.20-030831): http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/apt4rpm/apt4rpm/client/apt P.S. it may take some time before the update appears on the web, as sourceforge uses a backup server for this. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
