KDE 3 is not part of Debian 3.0 'Woody' and never will be. Futher, KDE 3 is not in Debian proper, as it is stalled waiting for the Debian development branch ('sid') to convert to using gcc 3.2 as the default compiler. However, unofficial KDE 3 packages are available, and there are a set of packages available for Woody. These packages, whilst they reportedly work well, are experimental and unofficial. You can get the KDE 3 packages for Woody by adding deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody ./ To your /etc/apt/sources.list and following the instructions in the FAQ at http://www.davidpashley.com/debian-kde/faq.html You are also advised to read/search the list archives at http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde for advice/information. If you have read all the above information but are still having trouble installing KDE 3, either join the #debian-kde IRC channel on irc.debian.org (Freenode/OPN) or mail this list (debian-kde@lists.debian.org) will a full and verbose explanation of your situation and the problem you are encountering.
