[ILUG] KDE2

[Stephane Dudzinski]

Hello,

I've seen this one before. I would personaly get and install them straight 
from the sources (faster and more reliable). However, your problem will be 
resolved by forcing the install. It seems that the rpms from KDE are kind of 
missing some stuff, but make sure you install kdeutils afterwards. You are 
also supposed to install them this way (same as KDE1) : 
qtlibs, kdesupport, kdelibs then kdebase, is that what you did ?
