Full system upgrade

Hi guys,

i didn't upgrade my arch for quite some time now. I tried to upgrade it now and i have some problems with kde libs. I'm using kdemod and i don't want to remove it. It asks me kdelibs conflicts with kdemod-kdelibs. Remove kdemod-kdelibs? [Y/n] and whent i naswer no the upgrade quits ofcourse. What should i do??

Re: Full system upgrade

kdemod has been changed, you have to check out kdemod.ath.cx smile
As arch now has moved on to kde4, things are harder:

copypaste from the site above:

INSTALLATION:
1. Remove all KDE4 packages: pacman -Rcs kde
2. Remove all KDEmod4 packages: pacman -Rcs kdemod4-complete
3. Remove all KDEmod3 packages: pacman -Rcs kdemod-complete
4. Remove _any_ KDE packages still left on your system
5. Double check that everything has been removed: pacman -Q | grep kde
6. Remove the old [kdemod] repo entry in pacman.conf
7. Add the new [kdemod-legacy] repo to pacman.conf:

For i686:
Code:
[kdemod-legacy]
Server = http://kdemod.ath.cx/repo/legacy/i686
or for x86_64:
Code:
[kdemod-legacy]
Server = http://kdemod.ath.cx/repo/legacy/x86_64

8.  pacman -Suy
9. Install with:
        pacman -S kdemod3 (basic functional desktop)
        or
        pacman -S kdemod3-complete (complete KDEmod installation)
        or
        pacman -S kdemod3-vanilla (complete KDEmod installation, vanilla flavour)
        or
        pacman -S kdemod3-base (a basic bare-bones KDE installation)

Good luck (=
Personly i disslike kde4, it might be faster on slow systems, but i dont like the looks of the new unwanted "widgets".

Tx for the quick reply. Will the kdemod version 3.5.10 be coming out?

Re: Full system upgrade

I have been working around that simply by adding KDE3 stuff to IgnorePkg in pacman.conf. Start with obvious packages like kdebase/kdelibs and those depending on them.
