Hi, I'm running Suse 7.3 and can't get the KDE 2.2.2 update installed using the Yast2 Online Update tool. After downloading the large patch, the install part of the process is done immidiately. When looking at the log file, the KDE 2.2.2 patch (and a couple of others as well) has the 'new' state, and not 'installed' as I had hoped. When asking the current KDE version, I still get 2.2.1 indeed, so the patch did not install. Also tried it from the command line as root, but nothing seems to help. Any tips? Thanks, Robert

Yes: please, please, please complain to feedback@suse.de and bugs@suse.de about this. I have sent in several bug reports on this situation and I'm being ignored., I hope other users will send in reports so the problem will get resolved. There are a number of issues with the way YOU handles "package management", by which I mean the manner in which it keeps track of what it's installed and what it hasn't. Standard Disclaimer: WARNING: Use the following directions at your own risk. If you destroy your installation, it is your problem, not mine. Proceeding could result in an unstable or even unusable system and loss of data. It might even eat your hard drive for lunch and then implode your computer, taking you with it... ...either way, if you do this, that's your problem, not mine. To fix the issue yourself, (You may only do this after sending a bug report to SuSE ;-)go into /var/lib/YaST/patches/<arch>/update/<version>/patches/, and look for files that have anything about kde in the filename. Remove those files (better yet, back them up to another directory somewhere else) and re-run YOU. If that doesn't work there's other things too, but I'm presuming this will work (if not let me know and I"ll write about the other things.
Thanks, Robert
