It says right on the website above the factory repos that there is conflict with stable repos and you should not run them together.
Can you give me URL, I can't find in: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ http://download.opensuse.org/factory/
Scroll down on this page: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories --> KDE 4.2 Factory Develpoment.
OK. Looked in a wrong place.
[ Those repositories are incompatible with the STABLE: repos, so you can only use one at a time. ]
http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories --> KDE 4 Qt Packages
[ If you are not developing and just want to use KDE 4.2, you should use the KDE:/Qt44 repos instead. After the next online- update you do not need any Qt repo for 11.1 + KDE 4.2 ]
I use Qt 4.5 and it seems good enough, faster, in zooming activities much faster than 4.4, for me it works better. I've seen some broken plasmoids that can't save settings, but they have more problems than that. Panel seems to work as it should. I didn't moved it around the screen yet, as previously it would loose connection to taskbar and all I could do is to remove old and create new taskbar.
More relevant for the KDE 4 Repo's, particularly in view of recent release of KDE 4.2.

I agree with Gabor here: especially as openSUSE 11.1 has the option to include KDE 3.5.x and KDE 4.x in the same installation. If the correct repos (including Qt44 for the Qt repo's) aren't chosen, the installation can be flawed/unstable...have experienced this myself. Would be good if there was a Yast warning about this and similar incompatibilities in repo's. Or maybe even better if Yast automatically excluded/disabled a conflicting repo.
It should not exist such thing as incompatible repositories. It seems to me more packaging problem. I can't say why as I know about packaging too little, but there is a lot of repositories around and not many problems. Maybe some of developers can shed some light on this. In case that is not possible to prevent such problems, than we really need new feature in package management, not only YaST. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
