I use FC4 x86_64, but the i386 version of the following packages should do it for you.
Code:
[jcliburn@osprey ~]$ yum list installed kde*
Installed Packages
kdeaddons.x86_64                         3.4.2-0.fc4.1          installed

However, if you already have KDE installed, simply running "yum update" will update all packages that need updating, including KDE.

yum update kde*

Add an asterisk to the end of kde.

oops, sorry

So all packages with "kde" in the name are part of kde, there are no other packages without "kde" in the name that belong to kde?

thx

If there are other needed packages, yum will grab them as dependencies.

hi

i did "yum update kde*" but i checked the kde website and there are several packages i don't have now ...

http://www.kde.org/download/

for example i don't have kdeaccessibility-3.4.2, kdetoys-3.4.2,... installed. So why are those not installed?

I'm confused

I did a "yum list kde*"


Code:

Sorry. When you asked how to update kde, I took the word "update" literally. What it seems you want to do is install everything related to kde, which is a different question altogether.

"yum install kde*" will install everything you see in the list you produced above, along with all its dependencies.

I have no idea where kdetoys is found. It's not located in any of the repositories I use (fedora-base, fedora-extras, fedora-updates-released, livna).

ok, it's my mistake: i meant INSTALL kde oops

So now it's installed great. So installing kde is the same as updating existing packages of kde PLUS installing other kde packages that were not already installed?
Is that right?

No. "yum install <package>" will install the latest versions of all packages specified; it won't update existing packages. "yum update <package>" will update only installed packages; it won't install any packages that aren't already installed.

One clarification... If you already have, say, version 1 of a package (call it P1V1) installed, and you want to install version 2 of an add-on to that package (call it P1addonV2), the yum install for the add-on would likely install version 2 of P1 (or P1V2) as a dependency.

and say i have kdelibs 3.4 and i do a "yum install kdelibs" what will happen then?

Does yum update the already installed kdelibs 3.4 to 3.4.2 or what will happen?

Depends... Try it. You can always answer "N" when yum asks if you really want to perform the update. Alternatively, you can execute "yum check update" to discover packages yum wants to update.
