Using --force and -nodeps makes it so that you don't know what packages need upgrading. I would try rpm -Fvh --test /path/to/kde/upgrade/files/*.rpm or rpm -Uvh --test /path/to/kde/upgrade/files/*.rpm and see what packages are needed to upgrade kde. -- Best Regards, Keith NW Oregon Radio http://kilowatt-radio.org/ Pax melior est quam iustissimum bellum.
