I apologise in advance that this has been covered before but I cannot find the solution. I have afresh installation of 11.1 64 bit withe KDE 4.1.3.
I want to upgrade that to a newer version either 4.2 or 4.3 but I cannot resolve the dependency problems that occur whenever I try.. I have looked for howtos and googled around but cannot find the solution.
Can somebody please point me to a way to do this ?
The easiest is to use the 1-Click install from the website: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4#Factory_KDE_Project_.28KDE_4.3_RC_1.29 for the latest 4.3 Beta builds (and it's pretty darn good right now despite the Beta/RC label)
or use http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4#KDE_4.2_Project for the more "stable" 4.2 builds.

That is one of the methods I have tried and I always end up with an immense amount of dependency conflicts which never seem resolvable however I try.
Indeed. So do I with that. I've never had "Dependency Hell" before, and this blows me away.
It begins with this, an there are another 20 screenfuls that follow! I've been keeping up to date with a daily "zypper up".
Where's the clue fairy when you need her?

That reflects my experience and Peter's also. Clayton seems to be the lucky one. Something is seriously broken here. I have KDE 4.3 on a 10.3 box here, it installed without any of the dependency stuff and works fine. I shall revert this box to 10.3 as well I think. As a by the way I've used SUSE since 6 something but I've never been able to get either 11.0 or 11.1 to work properly.
