I think the more up to date the system you are about to upgrade is, the 
more likely you are to run into these dependency issues. If you haven't 
upgraded much since the final package selection for the new version was 
made then the upgrade will probably go smoother. (I'm really just 
speculating) 

My system is quite up to date (using apt/synaptic) so I am resigned to 
doing a full re-install (except /home directories) if I decide to go 
for 9.1.

When I upgraded from 8.1 to 9.0 I did a minimal (fresh) install on an 
un-used partition. Then used synaptic to add everything else, that way 
I didn't have to deal w/ everything yast wanted me to un-install, and I 
had a usable system if the upgrade was un-satisfactory. Once my 
new-install was up and running I was able to recover the old partition 
for other uses.

See ya
