KDE, qt and the whole kaboodle (including kaboodle itself) have been updated since the last mepis release. When you ask for scribus, things need to be removed to satisfy it's dependancies. You will be able to re-install all of KDE (3.4.2) and Koffice (1.3.5) after that, if you use the debain sid at least, but it might not all be plain sailing anyway, things have changed a lot since the last mepis release. I can't vouch for the state of testing. You might be able to get less removals by specifieing packages to also install, e.g. 'apt-get install scribus kde'. That last release of MEPIS was from before the current release of debian stable (that is when sarge was testing and etch was just a twinkle), so things have moved on a lot since then. -- -- Ben Green
