KDE Upgrade to 3.0

Here is what I ended up doing that finally worked.

First I had to uninstall all the KDE anything 2.2.2 I used the following
commands:
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^koffice`
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kpppload`
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kdbg`
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^licq-kde`
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^kde`
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^ntsysv`
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^switchdesk-kde`
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^firewall-config`
rpm -e `rpm -qa |egrep ^chromium`

Next I had to remove the following rpm's from the install directory: gphoto
kamera usbutils and hwdata

Now I was finally able to install the upgrade using rpm -Uvh *.rpm

It seems to be working. I have been able to configure Kmail to send with
smtp authentication!

I just completed this yesterday and am up and running KDE 3.0 on
RedHat 7.2 (Linux lisa 2.4.9-13custom #1 Mon Feb 4 17:31:45 MST
2002 i686 unknown). Here's what I did:

First, I removed these files (rpm -e):

kdebase-2.2.2-1
kdeartwork-2.2.2-1
kdepim-2.2.2-3
kdepim-pilot-2.2.2-3
kdelibs-2.2.2-2
kdetoys-2.2.2-1
kdeartwork-locolor-2.2.2-1
kdemultimedia-2.2.2-2
kdenetwork-2.2.2-1
kdelibs-sound-2.2.2-2
kdebindings-perl-2.2.2-1
koffice-1.1.1-2
kdegraphics-2.2.2-1
kdeutils-2.2.2-1
licq-kde-1.0.3-7

I had to go out to rpmfind.net to obtain:

libxml2-2.4.19-2mdk.i586.rpm
pilot-link-0.9.5-ximian.2.i386.rpm

Then I installed (rpm -Uhv) these:

kdebase-3.0.0-2.i386.rpm
kdeartwork-3.0.0-3.i386.rpm
kdepim-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
kdepim-pilot-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
kdelibs-3.0.0-4.i386.rpm
kdetoys-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
kdeartwork-3.0.0-3.i386.rpm
kdeartwork-kworldclock-3.0.0-3.i386.rpm
kdeartwork-locolor-3.0.0-3.i386.rpm
kdeartwork-screensavers-3.0.0-3.i386.rpm
kdemultimedia-arts-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
kdemultimedia-kfile-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
kdemultimedia-libs-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
kdenetwork-devel-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
kdenetwork-libs-3.0.0-1.i386.rpm
cups-devel-1.1.14-10.i386.rpm
cups-libs-1.1.14-10.i386.rpm
qt-3.0.3-5.i386.rpm
qt-devel-3.0.3-5.i386.rpm
arts-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
libxml2-2.4.19-2mdk.i586.rpm
pilot-link-0.9.5-ximian.2.i386.rpm

During the install, I received (about 5 times during various pkg
installs) a message about something like "Kbuildsycoca" (at least I
know "sycoca" was in the message and when I do a "locate coca" I
see there is a /usr/bin/kbuildsycoca). I did the install while
still running KDE so that might have been the cause. After the
install I logged out of KDE and logged back in and everything has
been working fine since then except for the Help (e.g., in KMail
selecting Help->KMail handbook pops the help window but instead of
help I get an error (while loading help:/kmail/index.html: could
not start process Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Error
loading 'kio-help'.).

Hope this helps. And, while it's not essential, if anyone has a
clue about the help error I'm getting, please pass it along.
