Problem is that kdesu is needed by some packages, but kdesu application is already included in kdebase as well. Ans there some other packages that overlap eachother. You should upgrade the packages with the options: rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm I worked for me. Althoug it is not the most clean way of installing it worked and I read this in a README.INSTALL on kde.org . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Shoemaker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 10:27 AM Subject: Re: [expert] Using .rpm files to upgrade from kde 2.0.1 to kde 2.1 > Eric Krout wrote: > > Myself and many others have had problems upgrading to kde > > 2.1 from 2.0.1, even though we're all using .rpm files.
