I fist deleted the previous version so i wouldn't have to wrestle with apt-get for dependencies. (found somewhere via page described above) to remove kde 2: apt-get --purge remove kdelibs3 libarts to remove kde 3: apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4 libarts1 Also, you might want to install a bit easier via aptitude. It's a nice gui and more understandable to the average user. Remember that if anything goes wrong that you can always play with the preferences file to pin a stable release of kde and revert back to it ( pin priority > 1000 )
