The upgrade process from RC 10.1-10.2 was abysmal. The upgrade does NOT
take much notice of all the applications that currently exist and
upgrade them all.

For example. I have a KDE desktop with Kmail and associated files
deleted and at the time Evolution installed with the addition of Monitor
class applications, Wireshark and a few backup tools.

When I upgraded I got a KDE desktop, New fonts, Kmail, NO Evolution,NO
Monitor class tools, Some backup tools went missing a ZEN updater applet
and in the desktop applet menu the open suse updater which would only
stay in the system tray for 1 session and when ZEN was deleted it
remained and worked.

In other words it should read the total applications database and
upgrade that database and install if required dependant files - Clearly
10.1-10.2 did not do this...If is saw a KDE desktop it performed a KDE
pattern groups update and to hell with any other application outside the
pattern group.

sorry very passionate here
