I have downloaded the required KDE files (version 3.4.2)(I know what all files are required), and tried to simply upgrade using the rpm -Uvh command. But i began getting dependency problems. Now, what I did was searched google like a mad buffalo :P to find that missing files, and was successful to a great extent. But the weird thing was I got a few conflicts, which I can't around with. Please guide me what needs to be done.
Here is the excerpt from the failure of dependency list . (the following are just the conflicts that are at fault.
kdeaddons < 0:3.3.90 conflicts with kdelibs-3.4.2-1.1.el4.kde.i386 kdeartwork < 0:3.3.90 conflicts with kdelibs-3.4.2-1.1.el4.kde.i386 kdebase < 6:3.3.90 conflicts with kdelibs-3.4.2-1.1.el4.kde.i386
Hope you can help.
1. Use apt or yum. It's easier, really. 2. The conflicts lines are pretty self-explanatory (IMO). You need to also upgrade kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase (at the same time) if you're going to manually try to upgrade kdelibs. You can alternatively, rpm -e kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase to avoid the conflict, and the install/upgrade them later.
