It's nice but how to do?

At the Suse site go to the update of KDE
They have KDE 3.2.0 available for suse 8.2.
You need first the base packages
I download it and put it in a folder available for Kpackage.
Check with test install kdebase3.
It needs kdelib3, libjasper etc.
add kdelib3 to install
Check with test install kdebase,kdelib3
report:
error: failed dependencies:
kdebase3-SuSE <= 9.0 conflicts with kdebase3-3.2.0-7
qt3 >= 3.3.0 is needed by kdelibs3-3.2.0-2
arts >= 1.2.0 is needed by kdelibs3-3.2.0-2
libjasper-1.600.so.0 is needed by kdelibs3-3.2.0-2
The strange thing is that kdebase3-SuSE is not in the base package list
In what package is libjasper?
I should of course add all the base packages.

Any way, I want update KDE in the clean way as KDE is designed and not
the SuSE way as they disturb (f..ck up) the KDE at many points so you are
dependend to use the SuSE.
This way installs the binairy (pre compiled by suse) KDE and as I suspect
this is the version for suse 9.0 in real.

The update via suse from 3.1.2 to 3.1.4 was already no succes, the help
did not work any more because they intercept the KDE 3.1.2 help working
but the update of 3.1.4 from suse had a bug and did not intercept but
replaced the KDE help, resulting in no help for KDE, empty pages only.

Then there is another way to install it using Konstruct.
This way I have to compile all myself.
As you can expect this way the help for suse is out the help system.
Why did suse not made there own help seperate from KDE but integrate it?

In short, I have SuSE 8.2 with KDE 3.x.x
KDE released a new version, fixing bugs from earlyer versions etc.
How do I install this new KDE version without the customizing done by any
distribution (losing the suse help in this case is accepted now).

Don't tell me to go to suse 9.0 (it ships with 3.1.4) while this problem always
will be there.
Suse is customizing KDE the suse way and incompatible with/how KDE is
designed. Other distributions (can) do it also.
