Guys, you probably don't know it but there's even more :-) deb http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/debian/kde woody main http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/debian/kde/README Try that one instead.

Couple of comments/questions. Tried aptitude, but man page not very helpful, maybe a second read-over will help. Mostly, got no no clue as to what some messages might imply. I will have to try agin. I added your URI to my sources.list. Doing the update worked fine, but doing "apt-get install koffice" yielded the following message from APT Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: koffice: Depends: kpresenter but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages Presumably KPresenter depends on something from woody that really needs to be from sarge or sid. Another post today mentioned that KPresent needed arts. I suppose that I could just install what I needed piece meal. Perhaps I should just bite the bullet and go to sarge directly, assuming it is running KDE 3.x at the minimum. /Pen

KDE 3.1.1 on Woody - it's effects on other installs...
I am fairly (re)new to Debian. I had Potato in its early days, but played with Gentoo then Redhat 8 to get a feel for other distros. Ultimately I reinstalled Debian a couple of weeks ago from the 3.0r1 CDs and of course got KDE 2.2. I want to use KDE specifically, but KMail from KDE 2.2 would not work with my ISP which requires a password for SMTP. After scanning a couple of threads in debian-user I got brave and went to www.kde.org where I added "deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.1/Debian stable main" to my sources.list. Took me a bit to figure out how to actually get KDE 3.1.1. (Didn't realize it was "apt-get install kdm" and not "apt-get upgrade".) So now I have KDE 3.1.1 and love it and this mail is being typed by KMail. I see problems though. I tried to install koffice and get errors. Here is an extract of the terminal spew. koffice: Depends: koffice-libs but it is not going to be installed Depends: kchart but it is not going to be installed Later I tried to install xmmsarts and got the same sort of thing: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: xmmsarts: Depends: libarts-alsa (>= 4:2.2.2-1) but it is not going to be installed or libarts (>= 4:2.2.2-1) I assume all of this is because my system is now in sort of a "split" mode; stock Woody except for KDE. Any advice on how to resolve this? Do I need to upgrade to Sarge or (ugh) Sid? Or is it primarily my newness to apt-get and how to force an install of a particular version of a package. Thanks, /Pen
