software management: patterns/packages KDE4/KDE3 are mixed up Just go to kde3 patterns -- you will find such packages as kde4-krdc, kde4-krfb, kde4-kdm.
Please attach y2logs. If you are in doubt follow: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST Thanks!

Patterns are intentionally defined as they are, no package management bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 450161 ***
Stephan, no -- it is a bug. One of basic principles of design -- do what you mean, mean what you do. If you want to create pattern with movie playes, label it "movie players", if you want to create pattern with web browsers, label it "web browsers". If you put web browsers into "movie players" there is no excuse it was done intentionally. User should not be surprised with awkward labeling -- label should describe precisely the content (in above example "movies players with web browsers"). So if you are about to put some mix of KDE3/KDE4 then please label it "KDE3+KDE4", that way it will be _informative_, instead of _misleading_. This is called -- principle of least surprise.
