KDE3 Packages
Step 1 - Remove other KDE packages
This step is only needed if you still have the original Arch KDE3 packages installed and want to replace them with our modular packages. If you have no KDE3 installed, just ignore this step and proceed to the next one. Also notice that KDEmod3 is compatible to ours and Archs KDE4 packages, these can be installed side-by-side.
Remove your existing KDE and Qt installation with
pacman -Rd kde qt3
as KDEmod conflicts with KDE from the official repos. You can check which KDE packages are already installed by entering
pacman -Q | grep -e kde -e qt3
Be sure to remove them all, and also your Qt3 installation. You do not need to remove any other KDE based apps like Amarok or KTorrent or stuff like pyqt3 or poppler-qt3, but just the core KDE3 packages and the Qt3 package.
