[Shad Young]

Yes, it seems that MDK has made it difficult on a number of fronts if
you are not satisfied with their defaults. Seems their "Official Update
Mirrors" are not up-to-date either. During my hunt for 3.1 (after the
compile failed) I discovered that even though my update manager said
there were no more updates to be had... (I decided to take a look at my
KDE version again just to confirm 3.05a was actually installed and lo...
3.03.

I removed the update mirror from the urpmi db and tried another...
suddenly 25 more packages appeared, including KDE 3.05a and LDAP...

*begins to ponder SuSE 8.1 again*
