I don't use these either. And it only seems to be one system that has
these dependencies. Anyway, they were the easy part to sort out.

On a more standard SUSE 9.0, I get this:

So, depending on what you tell YAST in 'Conflict Resolution:', some
packages may be removed. I guess you do not recall which you selected,
right?

I am also curious why there is no update for, say, kdegraphics3, when
there are for things like kdegraphics3-fax. Has kdegraphics3 been
replaced by kdedraphics3-3D? The two RPMs have the same 'Summary' text.
There are a few others like this that look very odd. Given that SUSE
have spent lots of time making the RPMS, a bit of explanation here would
be comforting.

I tell myself that the systems I want to update will remain RPM-based.
With the main RPMs coming from SUSE.

I gather the packages added these symlinks.
