Yes, I did updates using other repos besides base, extras, updates-released and now on my FC4 x86_64 install I have the following with most attempts to update any KDE package (using KYUM):

*** file /usr/share/mimelnk/text/x-tex.desktop from install of kdelibs-3.5.0-0.1.fc4 conflicts with file from package kdelibs-3.4.0-6

and many more like that.

My fault, just want to update and have a clean system and am willing to do anything to fix it. Everything works so it's nothing urgent, but I am enuf of a noob not to be sure what is the best way to clean this up even if I have to change files one at a time if I have to. I haven't been able to piece together exactly what I need to do from previous posts. So thanks in advance.


Brian1: I got them thru rpm.livna.org.

Are you using the x86_64 rpms of kde 3.4 and then are the kde 3.5 for X86_64. Reason asking is I have not seen any x86_64 for Fedora side yet. Just wondering where you found them. I ended up installing KDE 3.5 from source code on my x86_64 AMD Acer. Not bad just ended up removing .kde directory from home directory because of loss of the start menu.

The KDE-3.5 rpms from the FC4 updates work without conflict, if you make sure "all your ducks are in a row";
