doesn't that mean that you've gotta go UNINSTALL kdelibs-sound, etc., before
going on?
I assume you are installing the KDE upgrades that don't require glibc 2.2 or
whatever that is in the cooker. I used gnome or icewm instead of KDE to do
this (if you are in KDE it either won't work or you'll crash.) When I got
to that point I used rpmdrake to uninstall the offending 2.0-5 packages.
Then I installed kdebase or kdelibs or whatever it was. You've got to
install the libs before the base, as I recall. At that point the useful
kpackage utility disappeared and I then had to use rpm commands in a
terminal window to install the rest of the packages. (I could have used the
rpm uninstall command instead of rpmdrake but I couldn't get it right.) At
that point I logged out, logged back in as KDE and it worked, except there
was still no kpackage. I used rpmdrake again and found that there were some
uninstalled miscellaneous little kde files left over from version 2.0-5,
which I reinstalled and then kpackage reappeared.
Trying to install one of the later KDE versions that require glibc 2.2 is
much harder and I think pretty much requires downloading all of the cooker
files.
