[kde-solaris] Pkg-get upgrade broke my KDE...

Darin,



Thank you for fwd'ing my message to the blastwave list, I certainly

appreciate it.  I was torn between posting it here or on the blastwave

list to begin with, but since the pkg-get upgrade only broke KDE, I

thought it was KDE-specific.  



I've subscribed to the blastwave list, and I'll be watching it for any

updates.  If their answers point to something KDE-relevant, I'll post

back here.



Thanks again,





Evan

Hello,



 



I hate to be a 'Chicken Little', but I ran pkg-get upgrade on my Solaris



10 SunBlade 100 and now I can't log into KDE.  I had been running KDE



3.4.2 (REV=2005.9.18) with no problems for a while now and during the



upgrade, I noticed that only kde_base was getting upgraded to 3.4.3



(REV=2006.01.08), while the rest of KDE was not.  I didn't think



anything of it at the time, but after rebooting, I can't log in to KDE.



The OpenWindows desktop starts to load, I see the KDM loading screen,



then a KDE error message pops up showing the 'bomb and gear' icon, but



there is no text in the error message, and then everything just freezes.



I have to power off the box and choose a different desktop session to



actually log in.



 



Is there a way to roll back the kde_base package to the previous



version?  If not, does anyone have an idea as to how I can begin



diagnosing this problem, seeing as I can't even log in to KDE?



 



Many thanks in advance,
