Cannot Install KDE4 Patches

**jlmarkus** · 10-Aug-2009, 21:54

I have been trying for months now to install the following patches:
kde4-akonadi kde4-dolphin

But everytime I try I get the error:
================

Code:

Removing kdebase4-nsplugin-4.1.3-3.7 [error]
Removal of (56980)kdebase4-nsplugin-4.1.3-3.7.i586(@System) failed:
Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package kdebase4-nsplugin-4.1.3-3.7.i586 is not installed


Removing kdepim4-wizards-4.1.3-3.13 [error]
Removal of (56995)kdepim4-wizards-4.1.3-3.13.i586(@System) failed:
Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: package kdepim4-wizards-4.1.3-3.13.i586 is not installed

================

I have tried removing all of KDE and reinstalling it and downgrading the packages above to those specific versions so that they can be "removed" by the patch upgrade. Nothing works.

Please tell me how I can fix this.

Thanks,
Jeff

I updated the repository as you indicated, but I still get the same errors when I run online update (or zypper patch).

What else can I do?

Thanks,
Jeff

Please delete this duplicate.

See what happens, but tell me where are you seeing these update/patches? Is it in Yast - Online Update
or the Auto Updater in the sys tray?

**jlmarkus** · 11-Aug-2009, 17:53

I deleted the duplicate. Same thing happens. The patch shows up in "Online Update" and the Updater in the tray and "zypper patch" as shown below.

Open a su terminal and do:

Code:

zypper ref

then

Code:

zypper up

For eg this:
kdebase4-nsplugin and the version you are reporting are old and are showing updates are avail according to my list. So do the above ans report back.
