KDE 3.5 Upgrade Problem -- python-qt
I have the pre-release KDE 3.5 installed OK on SuSE 9.3. Got it from SuSE supplementary source via YaST's "Install and Remove Software" about a week ago. Now I want to update to the official 3.5 release but ran into a problem. It has a missing dependency: kdebindings3-python requires python-qt which is apparently not available. The pre-release 3.5 version does not have this package but it also didn't call it out as a dependency. kdebindings3-python is required in turn by hplip -- needed by CUPS to support my HP Laserjet printer. So, it seems I cannot install the official KDE 3.5. Does anyone have a way around this? Bob
Skip the kdebindings3-python package. It's what I did and everything work. Francesco Robert Paulsen wrote:

Ahh, but do you have a HP Laserjet printer? Do you print via CUPS?

He said skip, not uninstall. IOW, leave that package and update all others. It does work. IIANM, it is a packaging bug.

Ahh, but do you have a HP Laserjet printer? Do you print via CUPS? He gave you the only present possibility to update. It is still your choice. By NOT updating kdebindings3-python, your printer will still work.

Yes, I have two hp laser jet printers (both color and B/W) and I use CUPS without problems. Francesco Robert Paulsen wrote:

Well, things have gone down hill! I decided to take all the advice and not install the kdebinding3-python package. Unfortunately when I now run "Install and Remove Software" I get some *additional* missing dependencies and conflicts. Here is a summary. Yes, it does read like nonsense. + installed not available + is not available + not not available + k3b 0.12.8-3b.pm.2 conflict + kdebindings3-python 3.5.0-8 conflict + python-qt not available two days ago I only got the last one (or two) messages. Clicking on the "+" next to k3b gives an interesting result: k3b requires is k3b requires not k3b requires installed My *guess* is that someone updated k3b on the servers but got the rpm SPEC file wrong. It thinks it requires three packages named "is", "not", and "installed"! I tried the main SuSE ftp site and two mirrors and got the same results. Just in case something went wrong with my system I tried "rpm --rebuilddb" but that made no difference.

Sure enough, I see that the build date for k3b is 1 Dec 2005 (today) so it is the thing that has changed since last I tried this.

As you can see, this is a packman rpm.

Did you uninstall the pre-release kdebindings3-python? Why would this be showing up to update?
+ python-qt not available
A known problem with the latest released package, thus the need to not update that package.
two days ago I only got the last one (or two) messages. Clicking on the "+" next to k3b gives an interesting result:

Right
+ k3b 0.12.8-3b.pm.2 conflict
As you can see, this is a packman rpm.
So that's what the "pm" means. Yes, Packman is in my "source of installation" list. I didn't notice k3b was coming from packman. But, as I said in my other note the k3b package on SuSE's site (and mirrors) was built today. And I see that Packman's version was also built today.

I did not uninstall.

That worked. Guess I'll contact Packman about that.
