KDE 4.5.4 update broken dependency

English Applications
#1

On my opensuse 11.2 pc, the Decmber 3rd KDE 4.5.4 update proceeded to install all updates except libkdecore4 (and maybe others). libkdecore4 now has a dependency on liblzma5 which is not available. The result is an all white desktop with boxes where the widgets should be.

I found this bug report: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657433
But I can’t find liblzma5 in the repository that is listed in the 2nd posting.

The opensuse 11.3 version of libkdecore4 only depends on liblzma0.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a workaround?

Thanks
Mark

same question here…
Noticed that openSUSE 11.3 went fine, but my 11.2 box is having this dependency problem like above.

#3

The update today (December 4th) fixed the depencency problem and I was able to successfully update all KDE files. Some settings in .kde4 got mangled and I had no panels and I couldn’t see my widgets even though they were running.
