It was a KDE update in SuSE, from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3.

I don't know, I already had Kubuntu 6.06 RC installed on a box & am simply
updating KDE to 3.5.3. As a long time SuSE user, I have to say that I'm
quite impressed with Kubuntu (even though it was only a Release Candidate
when I installed it) The installation & updating are very easy & smooth.
I think that, for the time being, I'm going to install this on people's
boxes in preference to SuSE.

UK mirrors for updating KDE are (they usually carry SuSE & Kubuntu):-

    ftp.mirrorservice.org
    www.mirrorservice.org
    ftp.mirror.ac.uk (http)

And I sometimes use these Irish ones, if things are slow on the UK ones:-

    ftp.esat.net (http) 
    ftp.heanet.ie (http)
