'cause when i try #apt-get install kde i get error messages saying that this or that packages (can check if you find it useful) is not installable. That happened the first time trying to install debtags-edit (and the uninstallable package was libgtkmm-2.4-1 for what i remember, so it can be wrong), just a minute before installing kde. >It may be that something is pending transition to sid (xorg is replacing >xfree86) and holding you up.
