I've been helping a friend move to SUSE 10.1 from Windows and the first time he ran the online update, it threw up a warning about kdebase package conflicts!
I've just re-installed my machine from the DVD9 media, same as him, but my machine runs through and doesn't cause any problems...
He is running an Athlon XP 2600+ and I'm on an Athlon XP 2000+. The only difference with the installs as afar as I can see is that I have installed "All of KDE", "Gnome Desktop" and "Kernel Development" on top of the default packages...
Anyone any ideas where this problem is coming from?

Something very similar to this happened to me about a week ago. I waited a few hours and tried again and the problem had resolved itself. The update included updates for both kdebase and kdebase-suse. I think the kdebase update was missing from the mirror the first time I tried it and they needed to both be there due to interdependency. Maybe if you try a different mirror you won't have that problem. Otherwise, you could just wait and try again later.
