KDE Metapackage fails - imlib2 package missing

[Donald Spoon]

I tried upgrading to KDE 3.1.1 in SID today (28 May 2003) by using the 
metapackage "kde",  and it failed. The kdegraphics dependency couldn't 
be met.  The kdegraphics fails because the kuickshow dependency couldn't 
be met, and the kuickshow fails to install because the imlib2 dependency 
couldn't be met.  Upon investigation, it seems that the imlib2 package 
is NOT available in Debian SID at this time.  It is listed but just 
isn't there!

Is this a transient thing?  If not is there a "work-around" ?
