The update itself works fine so far.

Attention there are some rpm-update failures: simply click ignore otherwise the
update process may fail (according to some other experiences)

The main aspect of the update is: Sound is working now.
(The article on the Inspiron 9400 is updated

Problems:
- Java installation breaks: the following links in /etc/alternatives are wrong:

jce_1.4.2_sun_local_policy -> /usr/lib/jvm-private/java-1.4.2-sun/jce/vanilla/local_policy.jar
jce_1.4.2_sun_us_export_policy -> /usr/lib/jvm-private/java-1.4.2-sun/jce/vanilla/US_export_policy.jar

replace them by (in my case):

jce_1.4.2_sun_us_export_policy -> /usr/lib/jvm-private/java-1_4_2-sun/jce/vanilla/US_export_policy.jar
jce_1.4.2_sun_local_policy -> /usr/lib/jvm-private/java-1_4_2-sun/jce/vanilla/local_policy.jar
