I downloaded the supplementary updates
for Gnome on SuSE 10 from here
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/ftp.suse.com/i386/supplementary/GNOME/update_for_10.0
There's about 20-30 dependency problems per directory /apps/base etc
When a new KDE's released I can update it easily (rpm -Uvh *rpm) with
maybe a couple of easy to find dependecy probems so why are these gnome
updates so difficult?

Did you download all the RPMs or did you create a repository using the above

I would suggest that you create a repository via Yast->Software->CD
Installation Source. This way Yast can resolve the dependencies for you.
The URL you want would be:

Type: ftp
Server: ftp.mirror.ac.uk
Directory:
mirror/ftp.suse.com/i386/supplementary/GNOME/update_for_10.0/yast-source

I also recommend that you add repositories for:
1) mirror/ftp.suse.com/i386/10.0
2) ../supplementary/KDE/...
3) ../supplementary/misc/...

These are:
1) Install source for 10.0. With this you want need the CD/DVD in the drive
2) KDE updates - currently KDE 3.5
3) Misc. apps...not quite sure but I have them for completness.

For more information, check out:
http://www.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories

I have used Yast in this manner to update KDE and GNOME with no dependency
problems.

Why did you not use Yast to install from this Yast Repository?
