I want to upgrade kde2.2 which came with my rh7.2 installation to kde3.0 using a cd of rpms from linuxformat. The README states that this works with 7.2, but following the commandline in the README results in a massive list of failed dependencies. I think that this might be because the original rpms were not installed with the default RedHat installation. At least there are not any in the RPMS folder, and rpm -q returns that none are installed. As I need to remove the kde2.2 rpms to install kde3.0 I'm a bit stuck, hopefully I've just missed something (as usual :-)). Can anyone tell me what that something is?
thanks, looking forward to 'faster, slicker, better than ever'

Hi Glen
What are the failed dependencies ? I have a full RH7.2 disk set here that I can check.
It may be that who ever built the KDE3 rpm has included a package requirement that is not on the RH7.2 CDs - Just a thought, does KDE3 require QT >2.3 ?
Regards, Paul.

so ....
yes >=QT3 is required, but it is present as an rpm.
the commands given are
#rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde` #rpm -Uvh *rpm
I also have a full set of RH7.2 disks so should be able to find anything required.

The reason I asked about 7.2 is that KDE3 in 7.3 is disappointingly slow and clunky. I prefer 2.2 and am seriously thinking about going back to 7.2 just for this.
