I see almost the same thing (not quite the same list of packages). The only package `apt-get dist-upgrade` wanted to update was libarts1 which replaces libarts, but along with that it wanted to remove (almost) everything related to kde. Trying to `apt-get install libarts1` it just wanted to remove libarts (which is quite an obvious thing to do), kbattleship and libkmid. Finding that libarts1-dev replaces libkmid, I then tried `apt-get install libarts1 libarts1-dev`, that wanted to remove libqt3-dev which has been replaced by libqt3-compat-headers (which are suggested/recommended by that apt-get command). I finally decided to actually do an `apt-get install libarts1 libarts1-dev libqt3-compat-headers`, which resulted in the removal of kbattleship. Then `apt-get dist-upgrade` wanted to upgrade libprm4 to a version that conflicts with kpackage, I allowed that too. As far as I can tell the problems preventing an upgrade of kde is: - koffice (e.g. kchart) is waiting for glibc. - kpm has been replaced by ksysguard, which depends on ksysguardd which in turn depends on the non-existant libsensors-1debian1 - kdemultiedia (e.g. kscd) is just a mess (0 days old, RC-bugs, lots of packages not yet compiled on non-i386). - kdeartwork (e.g. kscreensaver) is out of date on arm and mips. - kdepim (karm, knotes and korganizer) is out of date on mips. - kfract only exists in stable (+security) In the 'probably not a problem' category, are a few packages that have been replaced: - kenolaba replaces kabalone - kdelibs-data replaces several packages (e.g. kontour) - libkdenetwork2-dev replaces libkdenetwork1 - libkonq4 replaces libkonq3 The 'probably' is due to the fact that I can't tell if these packages would be installed if the above problems were solved. In the 'I don't really know how this should be' category, I wonder if libkdegames1 should replace libkdegames. .Henrik -- Henrik Christian Grove [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student of Mathematics at the University of Copenhagen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
