Actually, most of the above are not particularly hard to resolve by  
upgrading.

kdebase is perhaps the worst and most complicated. Is SuSE still  
shipping kpackage?

The net-snmp package is perhaps the 2nd worst, erase the package if you
can live without SNMP.

Then upgrade all the rest, which should be largely interdependent and  
indpependent
of other serious dependency entanglements.

Please note that I'm largely unaware of yast2-packagemanager  
dependencies, I
could be quite wrong on what is involved in upgrading yast2.
