Though you may not use it, the files are quite likely still installed, 
so follow Peter's suggestions for that.

If this is not installed presently on your system, it can be done using 
the rpm -Uhv or -ihv taglib*.rpm command.  This file is included with 
the new KDE base files.

Many files relate or depend on other files to work correctly.  Even 
though you may not use their particular functions, other programs do 
need them.  Installing them is not going to cause your system to go 
wanky, because they deal with something you don't have.

-Uhv (upgrades/updates or installs files)
-Fhv (only updates files that are already installed on your system)

If you feel more comfortable staying with your present KDE, then do so, 
but 3.2 is very nice!  Those of us that are version junkies can't stay 
away from such things though and do the upgrades.  Some folks have 
problems for one reason or another, but for the most part, the SuSE rpms 
are stable and safe to install.  The little warning, I suspect, is for 
those folks that are a little hesitant to update a file everytime a new 
build version shows up!  ;o)
