 KDE 4.6.2 now on qt-kde.debian.net
Has anyone upgraded yet? Does the procedure kmathern outlined in the following thread still work? viewtopic.php?p=267651I simply want to go from 4.6.1 to 4.6.2. Thanks.

 Re: KDE 4.6.2 now on qt-kde.debian.net
Since you're already at 4.6.1 you shouldn't need to go back to the procedure you mention. A couple hours ago I dist-upgraded my install that was already at 4.6.1 to 4.6.2 with no problem. About the only thing special I did was logout of KDE and login in at the level 3 console (also killed X with a service kdm stop) and did the dist-upgrade from there. That may not have been necessary but it's what I usually do with that size& type of upgrade.

 Re: KDE 4.6.2 now on qt-kde.debian.net
I did the same from konsole. Was an uneventful upgrade. The only thing I saw that had an issue was kopete. It wasn't upgradeable due to needing a newer version of libssl 1.0.0 that I was unable to find even in the sid repos. I just locked it to the current version in synaptic.

Upgraded my M8.5-Sid install from 4.6.1, with Synaptic. Upgrade went fine no dependency issues here.

 Re: KDE 4.6.2 now on qt-kde.debian.net
Both my systems upgraded without issue, although I forgot to stop kdm on my laptop. I too had the kopete dependency issue, but I do not use it, so I had it removed. Time will tell if the upgrade was worth it. Thanks for the tips. Enjoy the new release
