I am having trouble getting KDE 2.1 installed.
My system is a baseline MDK 7.2 install, upgraded to 2.4.2 kernel which I
compiled.
I downloaded the Mandrake KDE 2.1 rpms from ftp.sourceforge.net, and have the
following rpms in my kde-2.1 directory:
arts-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdeadmin-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdebase-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdebase-devel-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdebase-devel-static-libraries-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdebase-nsplugins-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdegames-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdegames-devel-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdegraphics-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdegraphics-devel-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdelibs-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdelibs-devel-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdelibs-devel-static-libraries-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdelibs-sound-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdelibs-sound-devel-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
kdemultimedia-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm
kdemultimedia-devel-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm

kdesupport-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm

kdoc-2.1-2mdk.noarch.rpm
libarts2-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
libarts2-devel-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm
libmng1-1.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm

libqt2-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
libqt2-devel-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
qt2-Xt-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
qt2-designer-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
qt2-static-libraries-2.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm
The following is the output of "rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm" issued in that
directory:
error: kdebase-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm cannot be installed
error: kdebase-devel-static-libraries-2.1-2mdk.i586.rpm cannot be installed
error: kdemultimedia-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm cannot be installed
error: kdeutils-2.1-1mdk.i586.rpm cannot be installed
error: failed dependencies:
kdebase = 2.1-2mdk is needed by kdebase-devel-2.1-2mdk
kdebase = 2.1-2mdk is needed by kdebase-nsplugins-2.1-2mdk
kdemultimedia = 2.1-1mdk is needed by kdemultimedia-devel-2.1-1mdk
ppp is needed by kdenetwork-2.1-2mdk
kdeutils = 2.1-1mdk is needed by kdeutils-devel-2.1-1mdk
I am unclear as to why I am getting these errors. It obviously makes sense
that kdebase-devel fails dependencies, if kdebase cannot be installed, but
WHY can't kdebase be installed, and so on?
Any help appreciated. I am going to try re-downloading all the rpms just for
kicks, but the file sizes all match so I don't think that is going to help...
