I Just tried this One-Klick-Install on openSuse 11.1 and ended up in tons of depenency problems....

No Thanks!

I would wonder if you some how either tried to install a rpm that was a diff. architecture or a diff. release than the one you were running. If not then this would indicate that somewhere along the way you had something went bad and you should run yast or zypper to determine if there are existing dependency issues and have them resolved

If you care to see it resolved you could post to the openSuse forums with a more detailed description.

What package did you try to install?

I wanted to install the new KDE 4.3 on my openSuse 11.1 with the one klick installation link...

http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... -BASIS.ymp


I tried starting the software maangement and checked the dependencies. But no errors where found...

The dependency issues are because KDE 4.3 conflicts with old KDE 4.2 packages, so you have to remove the KDE 4.2 packages. Prior to KDE 4.3 KDE 4 packages had a KDE4- prefix, but this prefix was removed for KDE 4.3.

so you have to remove the KDE 4.2 packages.

And how do I click on the one-click-install link then ?

I'm not following you. You click the link, run the install, and then fix the conflicts when they arise.

i give up....

They sould rename the link... One-plus-maybe-some-more-click-install...
It just **** ME OF to resolv so many dependency problems by hand!
I mean it's not like there would only be 3 or 4 or 10 no there's a big **** list of them!
And when i say "delete the old one" and click OK i get another bunch of them!
I thought i would have a system that resolves this issue!

That's just unprofessional sorry....

I think you got stuck in an usual problem where the main repo still includes kde4.1 rpms, the factory repo includes the kde4.3 rpms and a bunch of the rpm's installed are now renamed without the kde4 prefix so one-click (or yast or zypper) is attempting to upgrade kde4-xxxx to kde4-xxx-nnn even though it's now called xxxx-nnn.

What you probably should do is something like uninstall kde4 and then install kde4 from factory. Maybe temporarily removing the all repo's that have kde4 in them except for the Factory ones would also help.

Shouldn't something like this be taken to the OpenSUSE board?

This isn't very fair on the KDE development team or community (or very flattering in the slightest). The problem is with how OpenSUSE has set up the upgrade, not with the guys here at KDE. Leave them alone. If you want to take a few chunks out of peoples' necks, go to the OpenSUSE boards.

Yes, this would be the packager and distro vendor's issue. And it does suck that they don't make it easier for you.

I don't like one-click-installs: for the advanced user they are useless, and for the novel user they are a problem because he/she will end with a mess in the repository list.
To install kde 4.3 on openSUSE, just follow this tutorial on the openSUSE forums:
