Problems with KDE 3.0.3

Support knowledgebase (pohletz_kde_problems)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 8.0
Kernel: Version 2.4.x

Symptom

After having updated some KDE packages or all of them, neither KDE nor its applications can be started.

Cause

The packages qt3 and qt3-non-mt might have different versions.

Solution

Make sure that both packages have the same version. To find out the version numbers, execute the following command as root in a text console:
rpm -qa |grep qt3
The output should be similar to:
qt3-non-mt-3.0.5-31
qt3-3.0.5-28
The build number (last digit) may differ, but the version number 3.0.x must be identical.

You can guarantee that the version numbers are the same by downloading the KDE update package from our SuSE Linux KDE Service Page:

http://www.suse.de/en/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_0/index.html

Note that the package qt3-non-mt must be downloaded from:

http://www.suse.de/en/private/download/linuks/i386/update_for_8_0/devel.html

Alternatively, you can also download the files from KDE's web pages at:
