it probably means that the package is obsolete; IIRC, there were KDE .debs before the licensing issues were brought up. (the QT license is not considered a `free license' by the Debian project, so it cannot be included in Debian.) -- "Undefined behaviour is socially irresponsible." -- Richard Heathfield, comp.lang.c, 2000-05-12
