Installing KDE 3.2 on Suse 9.0 Prof

I'm currently installing KDE 3.2.2 on Suse 9.0 Professional. I found a manual about installing in the web with the following steps:
1. rpm -Uvh lib*.rpm
(update the systempackages) works fine
2. rpm -Uvh qt3-*.rpm
(update QT-libraries) DOES NOT work, shows

Error: Failed dependencies:
qt3 = 3.3.2 is needed by qt3-devel-3.3.2-3
qt_library_3.3.2 is needed by qt3-mysql-3.3.2-3

I downloaded the libraries from the Suse-site, the following packages are in the current directory:

arts-gmcop.rpm
arts.rpm
audiofile.rpm
kdebase3-3.2.1-10.i586.rpm
kdebase3-extra-3.2.1-10.i586.rpm
kdebase3-kdm.rpm
kdebase3-ksysguardd-3.2.1-10.i586.rpm
kdebase3-nsplugin-3.2.1-10.i586.rpm
kdebase3-samba.rpm
kdelibs3-3.2.1-11.i586.rpm
libart_lgpl.rpm
libxml2-devel.rpm
libxml2-python.rpm
libxml2.rpm
libxml2-test.rpm
libxslt-devel.rpm
libxslt-python.rpm
libxslt.rpm
mad.rpm
qt3-devel.rpm
qt3-devel-tools.rpm
qt3-man.rpm
qt3-mysql.rpm
qt3.rpm
taglib-1.0-46.i586.rpm

But I am not able to find the ordered "qt_library_3.3.2", neither on the suse-site nor with google or a FTP-searchsite.

(I have installed almost all development-libraries when I installed Suse, because I want to compile programs)


Is there anyone out there who is able and willing to help me?

Man, that's exactly the problem I ran into! Well, here's the solution (which did take me a long time to figure out, even though it's so simple):
If you're sure you have all qt3 packages, which, from what I can see, you do, then type:

rpm -Uhv --nodeps qt3-*.rpm

This will cause the rpm program to ignore all dependencies. If, for any of the other packages, an error message like "X conflicts with Y" comes up, simply add "--force" to force-overwrite the conflicting files, which would look like:

rpm -Uhv --nodeps --force packagename.rpm

Hope this helps. It let me install 3.2.1 anyway, so it should work for 3.2.2 as long as you have all dependencies.
Booting...
