Updating KDE with apt
Hi
I have switched to Suse 10.1 and use apt to update install etc. I use KDE 3.5.1 I know 3.5.4 is out but I am not offered the chance to upgrade to anything else. Here's the sources list. rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt SuSE/10.1-i386 java xorg openoffice suser-agirardet suser-hthen suser-liviudm suser-jengelh suser-gbv usr-local-bin suser-scorot suser-scrute suser-jogley suser-ollakka suser-raoul funktronics suse-people suse-projects kde3-stable rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 update rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 rpmkeys rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 base rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 non-oss rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 extra rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 gnome rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 mozilla rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 suser-rbos rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 suser-crauch rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 jacklab rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 suser-oc2pus rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 suser-guru rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 suser-tcousin rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 suser-sbarnin rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 kolab rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 packman rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 packman-i686 rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 kraxel rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 wine rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 security Anybody know why?

The repos has changed for KDE upgrades:
you should use this address |

Thanks for that link.
Do you know the format in which I can write to my sources list file? All of them are ftp. Thanks again Drew |

the new apt and repomd
Dear berbae
Thanks for the reply. I have added the new apt, libs and synaptic and they work but my sources list does not work. Do I merely add repomd in front of every address that I used to have in a special way? (I have tried just typing that but didn't work either) Do you know of a link that lists all the repo's similar to those I had previously? I know I'm close but its this last stage that has me confused! Thanks Drew |
Hi drew boardman
Can you post your source.list file? I think you just have to add the new KDE repos with the repomd key word, like that: Quote:
But if you can, I advise you to first update/upgrade your system without adding the KDE repos, and test if everything is ok, before adding the KDE repos and update KDE. So it would be easy to discover where a problem originates from. And check that you are able to go back to the present running KDE version, if something doesn't work well. Verify that you have a backup of the KDE rpm files somewhere or the installation CD/DVDs available. Try this and tell us if it works. Have a good KDE upgrade. |

The repodata directory is under
http://repos.opensuse.org/KDE:/KDE3/...10.1/repodata/ not http://repos.opensuse.org/KDE:/KDE3/repodata/ as apparently supposed by Apt, which seems to ignore the release number directory. Comparing with the former format with rpm keyword which is rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 packman rpmkeys base ... where the release '10.1-i386' is linked with the higher level directory 'SuSE' I suggest that you try this format for repomd keyword: repomd http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/ KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.1 repomd http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/ Backports/SUSE_Linux_10.1 But before starting the KDE upgrade, did you run an update/upgrade of your system, first without the KDE repos ? And would you be able to go back to the present running KDE version if something turns out badly ? |
Updating with apt
Dear Berbae
I have'nt run run an upgrade recently as the differences between what I have installed and the upgrade seem to be minor. As for undoing I usually re-install and start from scratch, there seems to no easy Linux equivalent to Ghost. All the important files are copied to an external HDD and then copied back again. I am using am old dual boot machine and after I get the scanner working, I'll drop windows. This the error I am getting: drew@linux1:~> su Password: linux1:/home/drew # apt-get update E: Malformed line 7 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist) linux1:/home/drew # Here is the sources list: # Repository created by: aptate (version 0.69.3) # At: Mon Sep 18 13:25:30 MEST 2006 # More info about aptate at: http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net rpm ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 packman rpmkeys base non-oss extra update gnome mozilla suser-rbos suser-crauch suser-jengelh jacklab suser-oc2pus suser-guru suser-tcousin suser-sbarnin kolab packman-i686 kraxel wine security repomd http://repos.opensuse.org/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.1/ repomd http://repos.opensuse.org/KDE:/KDE3/...inux_10.1/i586 repomd http://repos.opensuse.org/KDE:/KDE3/...10.1/repodata/ repomd http://software.opensuse.org/downloa...SE_Linux_10.1/ repomd http://software.opensuse.org/downloa...inux_10.1/i586 # rpm-src ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 packman rpmkeys base non-oss extra update gnome mozilla suser-rbos suser-crauch suser-jengelh jacklab suser-oc2pus suser-guru suser-tcousin suser-sbarnin kolab packman-i686 kraxel wine security Each of the red options have been tested individually but none of work although the others (packman etc) do.

Sorry, I cannot help you more on this subject, because I have not installed the new Apt version on my machine, and so I cannot try it myself. At this time I prefer to compile rather than use rpm packages.
I can only suggest 3 options to you: 1) Try the Smart package manager which seems to work to update KDE 2) Download the KDE rpm package files and install them manually under root/run level 3 3) Try to get an answer in this thread which is already opened and waits for new infos about the right format to use. Good luck and sorry for not going further with you on this issue. |
Dear Berbae
Thanks for all your help. I'll follow the thread you suggested. Thanks again Drew |
