KDE 3.2.1 Upgrade error

While installing all the Rpms for KDE 3.2.1 I recieved this error and ony this one.

kdebase3-SuSe <= 9.0 conflicts with kdebase3.3.2.1-10


Any suggestions?

I had the same thing when I installed 3.2.1 but it does not matter. Ignore it.

After you download the packages just do:

rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm
SuSEconfig

After that reboot and everything will be fine.

After doing that I get these.

did SuSeconfig anyway.

Then restarted and Splash screen still says KDE 3.1

That is a common problem with KDE 3.2.1. Almost everyone I have talked to had it.

1. Uninstall k3b-0.9.cvs20030901-35

rpm -e k3b-0.9.cvs20030901-35

2. Uninstall koffice-1.2.92-67

rpm -e koffice-1.2.92-67

Then install the KDE 3.2.1 with the steps I gave you before (with the SuSEconfig) and then reboot. After that everything should be fine but you won't have koffice and k3b. You will have to find the rpms for the new versions. (it did not matter to me since I was not using them anyway). I hope I helped.

a.

Thanx. That worked.

But it seems to run a lil bit slower, hmm Gonna do the updates and see if that helps

Strange...mine actually started working faster :-)
Glad I helped!

Can you run YaST Still?

When I try to run it, or try to install a rpm (which isnt associted with yast any more...)

I get this error...then it stops what its doing.

Yeah, I can run YaST(GUI), but when I run it the same problem comes up ever time I do it. I just click "Ignore All" and leave it (at least that is what I got as an answer from another forum )

Ahh ok. Yea i kept hitting Ignore but it would always come back. But i just read on another forums that someone said you needed to delete those file anyway to update KDE, so I just searched with Yast and found them and just uninstalled them. Every thing seems to be going fine so far.

EXCEPT!!!

It delete a icon I was using

Its a icon os Tux Holding a Needle.

Does any one have this icon still? I was using it for a file.

Ok maybe dont do that :-)

It changed the size of my fonts a bit and now i dont ahve the Yast update and some other lil things hmm

Ok I think im going to reinstall. Just because I didnt have much on this yet and dont have anything eles to do at work.

Should I download the KDE files from SuSe's site? Or use the ones Hosted on of the KDE's sites that are for suse?

I would think they would be the same files right?

Nice experience there :-)

Ok I got the rpms from:

http://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2.1/SuSE/ix86/9.0

I guess the should be the same everywhere.

If you have your YOU still working you can try installing it from:

ftp.oregonstate.edu
pub/suse/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/yast-source/

Hi,

I managed last week to install kde 3.2 on my RedHat9 machine, by checking all the dependencies, and downloading the missing files, one by one....

Now I want to upgrade to 3.2.1 and I have one last dependency, which is not easy to solve (P.S I have not installed all kde packages - don't need all?).
The last missing file is:

libsmbclient.so.0, needed by kdebase-3.2.1-0.1

This libsmbclient.so.0 file can be obtained from samba packages, but this will change my samba installation, which I don't want to do at this moment.
I managed to find the missing file libsmbclient.so.0 and downloaded it, but how do I tell RPM that I do have that file and that it is not missing?

Any hints are appreciated!

Hi,

I now upgraded to a newer samba package which provided the last missing file. Running

However, when installing all packages using

$ rpm -Uvh --force *.rpm
(--force because some configuration files of my new package sensors -needed to resolve some dependencies- were in conflict with my existing lm-sensors package;I expected this not to give any problems).

I got the following rpm-comment in the hashed installation line dealing with kdebase (no orther comments appeared):
/etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc has been saved as /etc/X11/xdm/kdmrc.rpmsave.

When rebooting the machine, X could not be started and I only got a login prompt!

I had to install a backup-image of the root partition....

Any hints how to upgrade from kde 3.2.0 to kde 3.2.1. with RedHat9?
