11.2 M8 issues upgrading to KDE 4.3.2

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I’ve seen a few threads where people have updated to 4.3.2 successfully, but I’m having a few problems.
I recently switched to Suse and package management has me a little bit confused. So it may be that I don’t have a necessary repo or the prioritization is screwed up or something.
Basically what’s happening for me is when I try to upgrade throught YAST, it’s giving me the window with all of the conflicts and suggested resolutions. There are a ton of conflicts.

Could someone tell me what a fresh install of M8 should be using for repos please? I’d like to get the desktop up to the latest available KDE version.

Don’t know if this helps or not. The command to list repos is ‘zypper lr’ the ‘-v’ is for verbose. This is mine currently:

Unfortunately that command does not list them in priority order or show priority settings. That’s an indication that there are more knowledgeable people on this forum regarding this subject.

The highest priority currently is for Packman set at 90 followed by the KDE and Mozilla ones at 98 Then Factory-OSS and -NONOSS at 99 and finally VLC at 125. I just ran an update with no dependency conflicts though we all get them sometimes especially in a developer version. Before the update sysinfo listed me as 11.2 M-8 x86_64 with KDE 4.3.2 release 5. I doubt todays update would change any of that. I usually at some point in Factory partition will add Open Office repos as they are of much interest to me. Which repos you want are individual to your interests.

#4

Which repo are you using for KDE 4.3.2? Most of the errors you’re getting are because the packages that are installed are newer than the one’s the KDE packages are looking for.

It looks to me like you can ignore all of those conflicts, but I’d still like to know which repos you have enabled.

Could you post the output of zypper lr.

Here's my zypper lr output:

Disable KDE4:/Playground

Disable KDE4:/openSUSE_Factory

Disable 10, 11, 12

Try the update again.

#7

That seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

#8

AFAICS it has not. It may run, but from the conflicts list, I get that you configured the 11.1 repo for KDE4 4.3.2:

kdm-4.3.2-6.1.x86_64 requires kdm-branding = 11.1, but this requirement cannot be provided
.

In the Factory repo for 4.3.2 you’ll see:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_Factory/x86_64/kdm-branding-openSUSE-11.2-28.2.x86_64.rpm

I bet that’s not the one you installed, since it would never have mentioned dep. conflict.

I suggest you change the repo from 11.1 to Factory, update unconditionally, then reenable the Playground and Community repos. That would be the real solution.

#9

indeed, I changed my repositories to factory and then did a zypper dup. No problems with updating. Too bad KDE4.3.2 will not be included in the final version of 11.2 :\

#10

I did this same thing. Changed to factory and ran zypper dup and as far as I can tell everything is now on release 5 (KDE 4.3.2).

Thanks for all of the help!
