I think is related to adding the KDE:43 repo which must have a compiz
version that differs from that in repo-update.

I worked round this in 2 ways and both worked.

  1. Using unconditional update in kde43 selected do not install the Compiz conflict. Repos were all 99, including updates. This keeps the Updates Compiz package and so you have a mix of compiz from updates and kde43.
  2. Switch priority to give kde43 higher priority than Updates and everything is forced to kde43. All compiz is from kde43.

Not sure this is the best setup, think I would rather have one or the other.

Well it seems I have already tried the 2nd one. I have KDE43 set to 95 and
Update is 99.

I think I’ll just wait it out. No amount of changing it seems to be helping.
If I set them all to 99 it wants to downgrade the whole mess to 4.1.3.
