@Ziane_ridling:
I already mailed you regarding your problem, but posting it here as a solution, that others can benefit form it in case of problems.

Sad news, that you broked the system and reinstalled again.
To me it looks like that you have some extra factory repos enabled/added, that made the conflicts with the current stable repo(in the post above).
What you need to do now is, don’t add any extra repo. Just add packman from YaST(YaST -> software repos ->community repos->packman).
After this add this repo(method mentioned in the post above for adding):
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/43/openSUSE_11.2/
Also dont add the 2nd repo from my post above.
Now goto to YaST->software management and repeat the steps in my post for upgrading.

Note: if there is any conflicts again, dont proceed with it, just post it here, so that we can look into it.

Hope it will work this time.

I must have done something wrong, Followed these directions to a ‘T’ and it asked me to resolve about a 100 dependencies, which I did. It downloaded a bunch of stuff, I rebooted, and openSUSE was dead. I reinstalled to get back to normal, but am still stuck on 4.3.1.

Oh, thank you very much!
This’s the greatest upgrade tutorial I’ve ever seen. 2 months ago, I upgrade from 4.1.3 to 4.3.3 on opensuse 11.1 and there’re many troubles in my system. But now, everything is fine, no bug ^^. My KDE is 4.3.4 after upgrade followed above steps.
Oh, excuse me, Where are you from? I see the domain “anl4u.com” and I think it’s same as one word in VietNamese

@ Yunkwan:
Nope, you need to switch system package just for the main KDE43(1st one in the post above) repo. The 2nd one is community repo, which have extra packages, but not necessary to do change the system package for it.

Good luck.
