Updating kde in rawhide

[José Abílio Matos]

Hi,
   while updating rawhide today it failed, even using --skip-broken.  No 
surprise here. :-)

Following rawhide wisdom I decided to update by chunks.

Since I am curious about kde 4.1 I have updated kde* first, what follows is a 
list of problems I encountered:

$ yum update kde*
...
Error: Transaction Check Error:
  file /usr/share/config.kcfg/pimemoticons.kcfg from install of 
kdepimlibs-4.0.72-2.fc10.i386 conflicts with file from package 
kdepim-3.5.9-9.fc9.i386

To avoid this problem I updated while removing kdepim, this lead to the 
removal of tellico (note to self, do something about it) but it succeeded. I 
had some hiccups during the way:

...

  Cleanup   : kdesdk-libs                  ####################### [86/87]
Unable to look at what's on dbus

Since qt-4.4.0 was not installed I had to do it by hand.

This is due to trying to replace /usr/lib/qt4/bin with a symlink to
/usr/bin ... which isn't going to work. What's needed if this is
insisted on, is symlinks there for the binaries in /usr/lib.

The ggz "install module" command in the scripts isn't conditionalised
(although the "remove" one is).

Right. I reverted this change as soon as this was reported (and we're working 
on doing this properly, essentially the way you suggest), but unfortunately it 
missed yesterday's Rawhide by a matter of minutes. It should be fixed in 
today's Rawhide.

Rawhide Reporting advice needed

Have just u\g from F9Release to Rawhide (f10)

Yum update has brought up about a dozen dependence errors,
do all get reported individually,
or one report against yum-update.

I'd do individual BZs.

Other than the qt issue (should be fixed in qt-4.4.0-2), bugzilla please.

I have tested kde 4.0.0, you don't scare me so easily. ;-)

And yes, I read the blog. :-)
