In fact, I just added in YaST the Xorg repository you mentioned in one of your previous posts here and when I went to update the files I got the same dependency errors (that KDE 4.13 had dependency problems with openSUSE branding) when I upgraded to KDE 4.13.
Now, why should upgrading Xorg* files have anything to do with KDE 4. 13 and its need for have openSUSE branding files of the correct flavour? :-)
You need to learn to read those dependency error messages. It will tell you exactly which modules depend on what other modules.
I don't believe there is any branding dependencies in Xorg.
Well, I am not in a position to argue about this as my knowledge is limited on the subject.
However, I can say this:
I accepted your comment that the files for Xorg in the repository-
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_1?.?/
was kosher and upgraded the files to the ones in this repo.
I spent close to 2 hours the next morning in recovering the system and bringing it back to a workable state because I could not boot into 13.1 but could only boot into level #3. Cause? Xorg* file incompatibility with the rest of KDE 4.13 system. The recovery involved downgrading the Xorg files from the repo you mentioned.
Now that I have my system back up and working I checked the system for dependency problem using the YaST option and there are no dependency problems.
I went though this as well. However it took me less than 2 hours to recover so one simple reason. My solution was to remove that repository. -- An NSA-employed acquaintance, when asked whether the government can crack DES traffic, quipped that real systems are so insecure that they never need to bother. Unfortunately, there are no easy recipes for making a system secure, no substitute for careful design and critical, ongoing scrutiny. -- Matt Blaze in AC2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
