I would remove all KDE and reinstall again and I would remove it orderly. I think that measure is not a drastric one, altough it seems it is, because: - You will keep your ~/.kde which contains all your personal settings. - You do not need to download all packages again provided you do not "apt-get update" since the last time you did and you did not "apt-get clean", because they are already in /var/cache/apt/archives. I think I found your same problem in one machine when moving from potato to woody + KDE 2.2.1 some time ago, and the way I sorted it out was to remove all KDE and reinstall from unstable (directly to KDE 2.2.1 not upgrade from KDE 2.1.1). Hope that helps, Pablo de Vicente KDE spanish translation team

Basically, the problem was that kdelibs3_4%2.2.1 managed to install itself but kde will not install because it's looking for packages that are not even in unstable yet. After much fighting and swearing, I eventually partially fixed the problem using dpkg --force-downgrade --force-overwrite -i kdelibs3_4%2.1.1* and several other packages that had been upgrade to 2.2.1 I had to list several packages on the one command due to the same packages provided by different packages in the different versions. I can finally log into KDE again, but kmail and konqueror both fail to start due to something about not finding Polish_7KDialog even though I only use English? I tried to re-install and reconfigure these packages, but I still have this problem, so I'm still stuck with Mozilla for mail at the moment. Of course these are the types of problem to be expecting from unstable. I probably just picked a bad time to try upgrading jsut when Ivan had updated several things but the all haven't reached the mirrors yet. I think for the moment, I'll stay with testing, once I can get this polish problem worked out. Thanks for all the ideas and help! I can't imaging getting this type of assistance from Redmond!

Of course it is trying to install the wrong kdelibs3 package so everything else fails. Try dpkg -i kdelibs3 & then use dpkg --purge on the packages listed as depends. I think it would be helpful to install kdelibs3 first then kdebase before task kde. - -- Greg Madden -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE73hP/gFopErbyUAoRAmqXAJ9aWsbt9oalgcFNKxWAd1ecEHRsOgCeJxaC yNM5hh7EvWx6aftacU8SJ3Q= =7NRA -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Need help fixing KDE
After the serious problems of last nights attempts to install KDE2.2 I've now found myself stuck with a broken KDE and no apperent way to fix it? Everything I try insists on removing ALL of KDE!
