Default Re: KDE 4.1.1 Upadate Checkerboard Problem

I set up the KDE:QT repo first, and still had the dependency problem. Then I saw the QT/44 repo, added that, and dependencies resolved. I checked before the update in the summary listing and it showed that QT/44 was the upgrade source. I was surprised because the initial dependency error was on libqt4-x11-4.4.1, which KDE:QT satisfies.

Usually it's not worth the bother to wrack one's brain figuring out these discrepancies. This is development, after all, and so everything is always in flux. Even the dependencies can't be 100% guaranteed as correct - note that the plasma updates were allowed without the necessary KDE base and runtime libraries.

One thing I don't think has been clear for many is that the 4.1 repo ref'd on the KDE4 page and sourced in the 1-click, is not static. It is not a frozen 4.1 release. It is continually updated, and while most of the time it is in sync with itself, not always. Like today.

Having said that, I have been updating 4.1 with every new wave of changes, 2-3 times a week. I've had a few individual package dependency issues, but this is the first time a major dependency was missed with a serious consequence. YMMV.
