kde 4.1

Hello

I am using openSUSE 10.3. I wanted to try the new KDE 4.1 so I used the
repositories. However, all I got was KDE 4.0 preview. Is KDE 4.1 not
supported by openSUSE 10.3 or am I going wrong somewhere?

Thank you

No KDE4.1.x is definitely not supported on 10.3 - neither is it on 11.0.

But it is available via semi-official unsupported Build service repositories for use at your own risk.

Add these repos:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_10.3/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_10.3/

Note that these packages are being actively developed for 11.1.

Can’t satisfy requirement libkdefx.so.5()(64bit) for
libkonq4-3.93.0.svn712052-11.x86_64

=== libkonq4-3.93.0.svn712052-11.x86_64 ===
libkonq4-3.93.0.svn712052-11.x86_64 is needed by
kdebase4-4.1.2-35.3.x86_64[openSUSE_10.3] (libkonq.so.5()(64bit))
libkde4-3.93.0.svn712047-6.2.x86_64 provides libkdefx.so.5()(64bit),
but is scheduled to be uninstalled.
libkde4-3.93.0.svn712047-5.x86_64[openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3] provides
libkdefx.so.5()(64bit), but another version of that package is already
installed.
libkonq4-3.93.0.svn712052-11.x86_64 depends on libkde4
libkonq4-3.93.0.svn712052-11.x86_64 is lacking the requirement
libkdefx.so.5()(64bit)
libkonq4-3.93.0.svn712052-11.x86_64 replaced by
libkonq5-4.1.2-35.3.x86_64[openSUSE_10.3]

( ) Generally ignore this requirement

kde4-filesystem-4.1.2-20.1.i586[openSUSE_10.3] provides
kde4-filesystem == 4.1.2-20.1, but has another architecture.

Conflict Resolution:
( ) Install kde4-filesystem although it would change the
architecture
( ) do not install kdelibs4-core

No valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture.
With this run only resolvables with the best architecture have been
regarded.
Regarding all possible resolvables takes time, but can come to a valid
result.
Conflict Resolution:
( ) Make a solver run with ALL possibilities.

This was the error report.

Just try this, I seem to recall
Conflict Resolution:
( ) delete libkonq4

is the solution

Mark it to delete
Just cancel the error for now
And go to Packages at the top of the Yast page and select update all if newer version avail.(That’s working from the kde4 desktop repo)

see if you still get the error

I have a feeling libkonq4 has been replaced by libkonq5

If it all turns ugly, just exit and abandon, and reply back here

Ignoring errors is asking for trouble NOT good advice

It’s good advice. Sorry geoffro. You missed the point of my comments.

To cancel a dependency error and move on to try the next step is fine.

I checked my install and can confirm that libkonq4 has been replaced by libkonq5, even though libkonq4 still appears in the repo (obviously) as it is from the original 4.0.4 kde that shipped with suse 11.
In fact it was one of the kde build service team that advised ME on this maybe a month ago or so.

I did say

If it all turns ugly, just exit and abandon, and reply back here

Which obviously means don’t carry on if the error remains!

Notice the two points in the error he posted

Conflict Resolution:
( ) delete libkonq4

Conflict Resolution:
( ) Install kde4-filesystem although it would change the
architecture
