This way, if/when frozen goes stable, you won't find yourself running a fully beta release, unexpectedly. How is this? Unless Debian policy changes, unstable will always remain unstable, and testing will always remain testing. You're worse off if you're tracking woody and woody becomes stable. Then you'll find that quite a few packages have gone AWOL because they or their dependencies are in a broken or semi-broken state, which testing, as its name implies, has a higher tolerance for. If you want proof, examine the posts in debian-user from the time when potato became stable (sorry, the year and month escapes me). There wasn't a testing distribution then, but the posts clearly show the effect of a potato that suddenly had to be as bug-free as administratively possible.
KDE dependency problem on a Debian Sid 3.0
Hello !! I have a little dependency problem on Debian GNU/Linux Sid 3.0 (yes, I know, that's unstable...) : My sources.list file : deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non- free deb ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/debian unstable main contrib non-free * When I want to install kde : * aula-linux:~# apt-get install kde 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: kde: Depends: kpackage but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages ** So, I tape the following : ** aula-linux:~# apt-get install kpackage Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed.

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.

Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package librpm0 has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list However the following packages replace it: librpm4 E: Package librpm0 has no installation candidate *** Just a little new command : *** aula-linux:~# apt-get install librpm4 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Sorry, librpm4 is already the newest version. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded. Well !! This package works !! But the rest still don't works !! The problem isn't resolved... if I tape the command apt-get install kpackage, the same error message is displayed... If anyone has an idee, thanks a lot !!

Lets suppose the following (a situation that happens frequently here, I'm sitting in Switzerland btw. just like the original poster). Installed: -- Package: A Version: 0.1 Package: B Version: 0.1 Package: C Version: 0.1 mirror: A_out_of_sync - Package: A Version: 0.1 Depends: B ( = 0.1) Package: B Version: 0.1 Package: C Version: 0.1 Depends: B ( = 0.1) mirror: B_more_in_sync -- Package: A (has been replaced by Aplus or is not available any more) Depends: B ( = 0.2) Package: B Version: 0.2 Package: C Version: 0.2 Depends: B ( = 0.2) If you list available packages you'll see all the new versions. And if you update C you'll get a problem, since A is hanging in the air.

Use the release name. It's safer. This way, if/when frozen goes stable, you won't find yourself running a fully beta release, unexpectedly. There's conversation later on in the list about multiple mirrors. I won't comment on the validity of it, but using multiple mirrors bit me in the arse months and months ago. First recommendation is to edit the sources.list and run an apt-get update to bring your package list up to current. Then try something like this: Dir=~ pts/4$ apt-cache search kde | grep kde fluxbox-kde - Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager for KDE junior-kde - Debian Jr. for KDE kde - The K Desktop Environment licq-plugin-kde - Graphical front-end plugin for LICQ using Qt2+KDE wordtrans-kde - Multi Language Word Translator for Linux As you see here, kde DOES exist (on my box). But you could be running into some conflicts with the multi-mirror stuff. (shrug) Once your available packages list is current/correct, you 'should' be able to run the 'apt-get install kde' w/o complaint.
