The package structure was changed significantly with 3.2 so that a straight upgrade from 3.1.3 will not be possible. For instance, kmail moved from kdenetwork to kdepim, so you cannot upgrade kdenetwork-kmail to kdepim-kmail. Try removing KDE 3.1.3 first and then installing 3.2.
Probably 'urpme kdelibs' ought to do it. -- /g
Well I tried this and still got the same error, so then i removed all of kde and tried again. LOL it was a disaster, there is some dependency I'm missing so it installed only half of the packages, kde-base and some of the more important ones just would not install. problem is aterm will only scroll back so far so i could not tell what it was looking for. It looked like libsomthing4 was the culprit but don't know the exact name. I was able to remove what got installed and re-install 3.1.3. I am very pleased that it found all of my settings after the re-install:-)
Will try again when I have a little more time, thanks everyone for your help.
I had a similar problem and solved it by doing urpmi bit by bit. First I installed something basic to get the essential KDE libraries in place, then progressed through network and multimedia.
Some packages have dependencies from contrib, so that might be what's giving you a headache.
I also borked k3b in the process, but I think that was my fault.
