Hmm, i don't see the problem. If you are using woody, gcc-2.95 would be ok, but installing sid packages on such systems would never be a good idea. If you are on sid, just remove the apt source line for kde.org. Björn PS: I'd been too lazy to fix the line breaks, sorry. :)

So all day use of a program means _using_ not configuring it - showing these files in nonspecial cases by default would break the concept of delimination of the configuration and the usage part. Moreover strange application behaviour caused by bugs is _not_ the _default_ wanted behaviour. Therefore the "design" of the file/directory structure used by an application is (or should be) based on ease of use primarily - nothing else. Björn

I just did an upgrade from 2.2.2 to 3.1 on sarge. It went smother than I expected. The only "problem" was knotes, its 2.2.2 version included a file moved to another (kdepim?) package in 3.1. So all i had to do was: dpkg -r knotes # update /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install knotes After a few minutes I had a gaudier KDE than ever before. ;) Björn
