I updated my KDE 1.1.2 on Madrake 7.1 to the new KDE 2 final release two days
ago, and it runs.
Here are the packages I installed to satisfy all dependencies:
qt2-2.2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdesupport-2.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdelibs-2.0-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdebase-2.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdelibs-sound-2.0-2mdk.i586.rpm
alsa-lib-0.5.9-1mdk.i586.rpm
bzip2-1.0.1-6mdk.i586.rpm
htdig-3.1.5-6mdk.i586.rpm
kdeadmin-2.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdemultimedia-2.0-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdenetwork-2.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdeutils-2.0-2mdk.i586.rpm
lesstif-0.91.4-5mdk.i586.rpm
mandrake_desk-7.2-18mdk.noarch.rpm
menu-2.1.5-42mdk.i586.rpm
menudrake-0.2-4mdk.i586.rpm
openssl.rpm
pam-0.72-12mdk.i586.rpm
rpm-3.0.5-27mdk.i586.rpm
I encountered the problem of the passwords which are not recognized when
entering in runlevel 5. It's due to the version of 'pam'. I tried first with
version 0.72-3mdk, then with version 0.72-7.mdk, but version 0.72-12mdk is
required.
