Anybody have any experience with this?
When I go to upgrade using:
Rpm -Uvh *.rpm (I downloaded all the updated KDE packages from SUSE's website).
I get this: kdebase3-SuSE <= 9.0 conflicst with kdebase3-3.2.0-7
What should I do. A friend of mine deinstalled the kdebase3 and he ended up rebuilding he said.
Kdebase3-SuSE needs to be removed for 3.2, which means you will lose SuSE plugger and watcher and a couple of desktop icons. General opinion seems to be that SuSE have not updated it but will probably do so sometime soon. I've not had any problems since I manually check for updates using Yast. Jim
That (and some other tips) is in the README somewhere around where you got the source. I followed it most of the way and it worked fine for me. Cutting and Pasting and including the spelling mistake: # # KDE 3.2 packages for SuSE distributions # Disclaimer: These packages have NOT been tested at all and SuSE do NOT recommend to upgrade to these. However we build these packages for convenience, but it is your risc to use them ;) You should not update, if you want to have a stable system and expect to get security updates for your installation. To install these packages via command line you need to * rpm -e kdebase3-SuSE kdenetwork3-mail (kdebase3-SuSE has not yet been ported to KDE 3.2 and plain rpm can not handle the move from kmail to kdepim3 package correct). * rpm -Uvh taglib*rpm * install flac and gnokii from your CD/DVD * rpm -Fvh *.rpm An alternative way would be to use the yast_source from ftp.suse.com KDE update packages. Known issues: * Qt 3.3.0 final has not been released yet, we expect it next week and it will be avaible on ftp.suse.com. The qt packages in these directories contain a late snapshot (Qt 3.2 would need many patches, so we decided to go the 3.3 way) * Several issues with updating old configurations, these will be addressed with SuSE 9.1. However SuSE 9.1 will not fix these, when you have already updated to KDE 3.2. So you might backup your ~/.kde directory first. * kdebindings packages are missing atm, they need further fixes and will appear on ftp.suse.com later -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html
