I don't know about your specific library problems but this could have been avoided by using apt-get. You can install kde2 on potato by putting - deb http://kde.rap.ucar.edu potato main crypto optional qt1apps in your /etc/apt/sources.list and running - # apt-get update # apt-get install task-kde Take a look at the man page for apt-get.
