I'm new to Suse. I updated my kde to 3.3 but am confused about what YaST online update is telling me. It seems to want to downgrade the installed version of kdebase3 from 3.3.0-8 to 3.2.1-68.23. Have I configured something wrong? _________ Stephen If your desktop gets out of control easily, you probably have too much stuff on it that doesn't need to be there.

the KDE components & base will appear but unlike the other stuff that needs updating eg. cups it should be unchecked as YOU checks the version numbers. Jonothan

So if items appear in big bold red letters but are unckecked I'm not supposed to check them? _________ Stephen

Click on that entry and the pertinent packages involved in the patch appear in the upper-right area. Then, unless you have very small type or a rather larger monitor or both, you'll have to scroll that display area to the right. There you'll see two columns: "Avail. ver." and "Inst. ver.", meaning "available version" (on the YOU patch server) and "installed version" (on your system). Most likely when a red entry is unchecked, it's because you're already running a newer version of that package, perhaps because of a manual installation or because you did something like install a batch of supplementary packages (probably the best example of which is the KDE 3.3 updates supplied by SuSE for YaST installation). For example, on my system, YOU currently shows a security patch for KDE 3 that patches kdebase3 to 3.2.1-68.15, but since I have 3.3.0-8 installed, this patch won't get installed by default. In general, you don't want to forcibly "update" ("downdate?") those packages.
