Two weeks ago, I downloaded the whole KDE3 base package for my SuSE
Two weeks ago? See what the update on SuSE looks like now. The most recent update for 7.3 to KDE 3.1.1 (dated April 18th) did not include the kde2-compat package any longer. Don't ask me why. Since I do not use KDE 2 Applications, as far as I remember ;-), I simply did deinstall that package. Then one little problem occured. I could not start KDE. kdm started but then did not start KDE. I believe that kde2-compat does install the link kde -> kde3 in /usr/X11R6/bin. After removing kde2-compat I had to ln -s kde3 kde in that directory myself and (so far) everything went back to work again.
7.1. I successfully installed all, but kde2-compat. This conflicts with kdebase and kdelibs. Should I uninstall these ones then install
kde2-compat overtaks the funktionality of these (and other) kde2 packages.
kde2-compat? May this be dengerous for my old KDE2 applications?
On my system it worked fine deinstalling kdelibs and kdebase. I think I did install two other base packages which depend on kdelibs and/or kdebase. Then I installed kde2-compat. After that every time when I used YAST to install other packages YAST always pointed out that there is kdelib, kdebase, and the two other packages missing and preselected them for installation. I always unselected them and went on with the installatrion. Other people here on the list suggested not to install the kde2-compat package att all, I did not figure out why. cu Stefan
