Now that fc2 is in legacy, what links do we use to allow a yum 
update/install of kde3.4.1?  I have all the kde3.4.1 rpms but any 
attempt to install them is met with mighty resistance from rpm due to 
several dozen missing dependencies as related elsewhere in this 
thread.

I just followed the directions in the link, including adding the new 
repo's to my yum.conf, but even so, no kde was offered for install.
I did install bluez-libs and boost, but another pass at installing the 
rpms for kde3.4.1 gives this result:

    Suggested resolutions:
        sane-backends-1.0.13-7.i386.rpm
        xorg-x11-xdm-6.7.0-2.i386.rpm
[root at coyote kde3.4.1]#                                         

Now, I'm not screwing with sane-backends, my scanner is working just 
fine thank you, being run from tarball built stuff several years ago 
now.  And I allready have xorg.6.8.1 installed and working great for 
most of a year.

Are there any workarounds?
