You could try switching to the KDE:Release:45 repo instead. If what you really 
want is a relatively stable 4.5.x repo, and you don't care about helping with 
testing the KDE for 11.4.

And for upgrading your KDE you prolly want to use 'zypper dup --from <kde core 
repo alias>' 

Using 'zypper up' will lead to the famous "red packages" problem, i.e. newer 
packages, which appear to be older than installed ones, because of weirdness 
with the OBS build numbers.
