Opensuse updater keeps pushing an update I don't need

The Opensuse updater shows new software for my system. These are not security updates just recommended ones both are for kde3, which except for Amarok & K3b I don’t use.
The updates in question are:
fileshareset a kdebase3 collective update recommended 124
kdenetwork3-InstantMessengerCrash fixes in Kopete group wise recommended 235
I’m almost exclusively KDE4.1.3 & to install these(just to shutup the updater) Yast tells me it would have to downgrade my entire setup to KDE4.0.4! Well! there’s no way I’m doing that I like my KDE4.1.3 I’ve invested a lot of time & frustration to get it where I’ve got it!
So I tried to clear the Patch Selection that didn’t work.
Is there a way to get the updater to ignore these 2 recommended updates?

In Yast Software Management
Filter by repo
Do you see many red or blue packages in updates or kde4 desktop?

If you mark the two you mention for update, save the error to file and paste here so we can have a look

Caf,
Hi I checked yast updates & kde4 desktop. In updates the only reds pertain to OOo 3.0 & the only blues to libglib & libgio.
In Kde4 only red is the PolicyKit-kde, no errors pop up on them.
If it means anything the only kde3 item checked in th whole of updates is kdebase3-runtime but that’s neither red or blue

But what about:

ileshareset a kdebase3 collective update recommended 124
kdenetwork3-InstantMessengerCrash fixes in Kopete group wise recommended 235

If you use Yast - Online Update
And accept These patches what is the dependency error.

I would roll back the red policy kit in kde4

I’m not sure if this is what you meant but here’s this:

First explain why you have two architecture

patch:kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-235.**noarch **conflicts with kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger.x86_64

I’m sorry caf I really don’t know. In the interim I’ve been trying out the Kde4 versions of amarok & k3b. I noticed that the other update that I’m having a problem with I didn’t put in to this forum, but yast gave an option to remove amarok 1.4 & k3b. What I’m thinking is that I may have in the installation of one of those apps is that I unknowingly placed my self in this postition,

So did you sort it?

It looks like you are _64 so would remove the
kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-235.noarch

Slow but steady I think. I don’t use Kopete so I removed it, that took care of the on I listed. I’m still stuck with the kdebase 124. According to yast I’d have to remove Amarok 1.4 & k3b. Amarok2’s beta work well so I removed 1.4
The options I’m looking at:

  1. replacing k3b for kde3 with the kde4 version
    2.removing k3b altogether & using brasero
    That’s what I’m looking at present unless you or someone else here has some ideas.

I’m not really sure where you are now, but I would have just deleted kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-235.noarch

I would want to kde3 k3b myself from Packman of course

Work through the errors and read carefully what it says.

Neither am I. Yast says to deinstall both amarok 1.4 & k3b so i’ll do that later. I need rest right now. I might try an uninstall of that kdebase3, just go along with it then, reinstall k3b at least. I’ll be back here.
Thanks caf

Caf
I decided to give one more try after I reread your last post. It turned out that yast gave removal of kdebase3 as an alternative & I could ignore some dependencies of k3b. I clicked that then hit ok. I got rid of the nonessential update & kept k3b in its entirety. If you hadn’t have said to read the errors carefully my next step was removal of k3b, & I’d have been sorry.
Thanks Caf
Have a good night I sure am!

I should do a verify system check

form a su terminal

LC_ALL=C zypper ve

or within yast software management you can check too

You should need kdebase3:O

I’m also having a problem with this fileset. I get the following error.


patch:fileshareset-124.noarch conflicts with kdebase3.x86_64 < 3.5.9-65.2 provided by kdebase4-runtime-4.1.3-60.4.x86_64

The only kde apps I use are k3b and 2 games. I tried to remove kdebase3 but it fails with a segmentation fault.

Look, you should read what it says about it in Yast:
kdebase3 - The KDE Core Components

Do you really think you should delete it?
Give complete error you get in Yast so we can see it please.

I did look it up


kdebase3
This package contains kdebase, one of the basic packages of the K Desktop Environment. It contains, among others, kwin (the KDE window manager), Konqueror (the KDE Web browser), and KControl (the configuration program)
This package is needed if you want to use the KDE Desktop. It is not needed if you only want to start some KDE applications.

Website: http://www.kde.org/
License: GPL v2 or later
Size: 58.9 M

Which error do you want to see, I posted the error that I get when it tries to install the fileset.

Yes but yast will usually offer more information than you posted, giving resolution possibilities - are you sure this is the extent of yast dependency error:

patch:fileshareset-124.noarch conflicts with kdebase3.x86_64 < 3.5.9-65.2 provided by kdebase4-runtime-4.1.3-60.4.x86_64

The errors on running Yast online update are listed below.
I could not copy and paste them, but I believe I got them
correct. It says that they must be done manually.

I don’t understand why it wants to change the architecture of
kdebase4.

Try something for me.

Remove your update repo, I mean delete it

Now add it back. From here
Index of /update/11.0

now check

and do you actually have kde3 installed?

I deleted it and then added it back in. Same error.
If I go into Yast software management and look at
installed, search on kde then kdebase3 shows up. There is
a kdebase3-runtime and a kdebase4-runtime. There is no
kdebase4. A number of kde4 and kde3 packages are installed.
