KDE 3.1 Update on SuSE 8.1 Via YaST - I'm Stuck!
I'm having problems getting YaST to resolve dependency issues without having me delete Evolution, Galeon, etc. on my SuSE 8.1 system. Here's what I've done so far: I used the "Change source of installation" YaST applet to point to the yast-sources directory on the SuSE ftp site. I then Disabled the DVD as an installation source. Next, I fired up the YaST "Install or remove software" applet, and (wonder of wonders), all of the KDE 3.1 updates magically appear. My guess is there's a correct order in which to install the updates. I started with libs first, but I get stuck when I try to update libxml2 to the provided 2.5.1-1. The YaST conflict message says: libxml2 2.5.1-1 conflict Conflicts with: docbook4 requires /usr/bin/xmlcatalog scrollkeeper requires /usr/bin/xmlcatalog Conflict resolution: Do not update libxml2 Remove all five conflicting packages (docbook_4, scrollkeeper, galeon, evolution, ximian-connector) Ignore this conflict and risk system inconsistencies. Any ideas on how to proceed? I'm ditching Evolution, clearly. Thanks! Mark -- ___________________________________________________________________ A Message From... L.

Hi, This probably dosen't help but I had the same problem, however I had already downloaded all the rpm's from www.kde.org, and having read an earlier posting ( unfortunatley i can't remember his/her name but whoever it was thanks!) which advised doing RPM -Uvh --nodeps -- force *.rpm. This has worked perfectly for me and got round the problem with libxml2, which gave exactly the same problem you are having trying to install them from the command line. The only thing that changed was my printer needed reconfiguring afterwards, may have been just coincedence though. Richard G. Registered Linux User: 256848 L. Mark Stone wrote:

Richard, Nice to know it worked for you! Call me a 'fraidie-cat, but those two words "force" and "nodeps" make me just a little nervous. Since my 3.04/5 system is working just fine, I think I'll wait until SuSE updates the rpms so that the ftp install will function correctly.

SuSE has already put new pkgs up for 3.1 but as it's in the supplementry directory it will most likely not show up in YOU. It was explained quite a long time ago that YOU is for system updates that are needed for the system..as 3.1 isn't needed then it most likely won't be there. The 8.1 pkgs they have up work absolutely fine with the acception of Kopete 0.6.1..or at least it doesn't work for me. It starts, connects to AIM but will not let me start a chat with anyone unless I get messaged first...kinda useless. I've found no issues with anything else as of yet. latah, -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

Hey Ben, The "Software Source Media" URL I'm using in YaST2 is: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.1/yast-source. Looks to me (at least from the directory name!) like it's intended to work with YaST2, and, YaST2 on my system finds the files just fine. I just can't figure out how to resolve the deps issue! I'm keen to know if anyone on this list has been successful taking a 8.1 system to KDE 3.1 using YaST2???? Best regards, Mark -- ___________________________________________________________________ A Message From... L. Mark Stone http://www.lmstone.com

Yes, updated two PCs using YOU and totally painless :) Dennis
Hi fraidie-cat I don't blame you was a bit dubious about it, but I thought if it didn't work it would give me an excuse to wipe my HDD and get rid of all the progs i've tried installing previous some successful some not. But all went well all installed without a glitch. I have to say KDE 3.1 is worth waiting for, I am quite impressed.Something I forgot to mention was that I tried to install a rpm of the libxml2 it was asking for, I downloaded it from rpmfind and according to Yast it was all installed correctly but when trying to install the KDE 3.1 it still reported the same error. Still all well that ends well. Richard G. Ben Rosenberg wrote:
