After downloading all files for the upgrade I did a rpm -qa | grep kde. I then move all the listed files into a separate directory. From that directory I did rpm -Fvh --test *. I then corrected any dependency problems by adding or removing some programs. Once I got a clean return on rpm -Fvh --test *, I then ran urpmi --auto-select *. I then went back and added a few of the downloads that were not listed with the rpm -qa | grep kde. If I recall right they were kdeartwork and kdebindings. This was last friday and other than a few minor problems with several screensavers, everything seems to be working great.
