Hi,
I don't know if this /etc/apt/sources.list script bug has been reported yet.
If it could be mentioned prominently on the apt-get area of the Yellow Dog
Web site it would indeed help other YDL 2.3 users like me.
I have sent this message to suggest@yellowdoglinux.com. I hope it will
make it to the apt-get area of the Web site. :-)
Bug-fix for YDL 2.3 apt-get
Problem:
-------
apt-get wont update qt for me; says I already have latest version.
(But I do not have the latest version of qt. I have the buggy qt from YDL 2.3
-- from the YDL 2.3 CD distro -- that causes an infuriating slowness in the
opening of Konqueror.)
Script bug:
----------
/etc/apt/sources.list
In the original YDL 2.3 /etc/apt/sources.list incorrectly
has 2.2 in its last two lines where it should have 2.3
Fix:
---
/etc/apt/source.list
In both of the last two lines of /etc/apt/source.list, simply change 2.2 to
2.3
Benefit:
-------
Now apt-get will update qt for you when you do:
apt-get update
apt-get install qt
And that qt update fixes the slowness in KDE.

Thank you,
