All, I've got SuSE 10 (from the commercial DVD) with KDE 3.4.2b.
I wanted to try KDE 3.5. I've seen that people have tried it and experienced a few little problems - the kinds that I can live with. But nobody (unless I missed some mail) reported being thrown into dependency hell while installing the upgraded KDE.
So, last night I downloaded everything from: http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/kde/stable/3.5/SuSE/ix86/1 0.0/
and tried to install/upgrade with YaST and then (when it got a little complicated for YaST) with rpm from the command line. After sorting out some relatively contained dependencies regarding ARTS and a couple of other packages, I got into the more open-ended stuff: [...] Kevin (not wanting to abandon the hundreds of MB of fine KDE packages he's already downloaded) =========== Kevin, As the other guys pointed out, you would have made things very much easier using a SuSE mirror for you KDE, Gnome or Packman files. You would have also made life easier using YaST2 to install from those

I think YaST2 might have been the easiest to start with, but having not used smart or YUM yet, I can't really say that to be fact. Go into YaST2>Installation sources and add a SuSE KDE mirror, Gnome mirror and Packman mirror, turn refresh on, finish. Then, start updating and adding files as needed. YaST2 will help you solve the dependencies just as it did when you installed SuSE from the dvd. There have been some discussions on this in past mails, but give a yell if you get stuck. good luck, Lee
