*Hello,*
**
*I hate to be a 'Chicken Little', but I ran pkg-get upgrade on my
Solaris 10 SunBlade 100 and now I can't log into KDE.  I had been
running KDE 3.4.2 (REV=2005.9.18) with no problems for a while now and
during the upgrade, I noticed that only kde_base was getting upgraded to
3.4.3 (REV=2006.01.08), while the rest of KDE was not.  I didn't think
anything of it at the time, but after rebooting, I can't log in to KDE.
The OpenWindows desktop starts to load, I see the KDM loading screen,
then a KDE error message pops up showing the 'bomb and gear' icon, but
there is no text in the error message, and then everything just
freezes.  I have to power off the box and choose a different desktop
session to actually log in.*
**
*Is there a way to roll back the kde_base package to the previous
version?  If not, does anyone have an idea as to how I can begin
diagnosing this problem, seeing as I can't even log in to KDE?*
**
*Many thanks in advance,*
**
