[opensuse] Why these dependency failures in KDE 4.10.4?
For the past several days+ I get these dependency failures after KDE was upgraded to 4.10.4. And as I check for updates/upgrades daily these failures are becoming a bit of a nuisance as well as a puzzlement because my expectation is that after all these days these failures would have been resolved. The failures are here: http://susepaste.org/86588486 Is anybody else experiencing these dependency failures, thanks? For information, these are the repositories I have enabled in 12.3: http://susepaste.org/4415497 An additional point re this: the options one is given to resolve dependencies are never fully explained to make a confident decision as to which option to choose. Is there some documentation which gives a fuller explanation of what each means and what may occur if one chooses the wrong/right option(s)?

Basil, the first question I would ask you is why do you think it's important to update your KDE packages on a daily basis? Unless there's some specific bug you're tacking and hoping to have resolved with an individual package update, this is mostly an excerside in futility. What would you possibly have to gain? Outside of the time of KDE point release announcements when I'm expecting a version upgrade, I don't check and am not concerned with pacakge updates from the release:410 repo, and you shouldn't be either.

Thanks John - and Graham. I have been using this (first) repository since KDE 4.7.3 and have never had this trouble until ~week ago. It appears that in the past the ../release/KDE:/4xx repository kept up-to-date with the openSUSE branding which was in ./update/12.x repo. Either this or the .../update/12x repo did not get a "rogue" bunch of openSUSE branding files which were ahead of what was in the KDE:/4xx/ repo. Anyway, your drawing attention to this KDE: repo made me have a closer look and I now solved the problem by giving the KDE: a lower priority number (from 99 down to 90) and doing this got rid of the dependency failures. (A similar problem exists with regards to k3b: what is available from packman is mismatched with what is in the ..../release/KDE: repo but I have rectified this little hassle as well.)
