Hello, Perhaps unrelated, but if you have the development packages installed on your original system, be sure to upgrade thos too, at the same time as the normal packages or you will have this type of error. Usually (I'm still running 8.2, and have upgraded a couple of times), I just save all packages (devel, base and applications) in one subdir. Then I change the sources for software installation (one of the SuSE menus) to include this subdirectory, and I remove the settings from the previous upgrade, but I leave the pointer to my DVD. This in cas I install something for which I need supplementary packages. Next I start the Yast Software Installation module. All upgradable packages will be in blue and I click to get the symbol to upgrade those. After this you may still have dependency warnings, but if they are from something that you don't use (postgres in my case) you can just ignore them.
