If that fixes the problem too, great. The main idea is to change the input to the resolver to avoid the problem. I still haven't figured out why aptitude isn's resolving the dependencies correctly. :-( You're probably never going to be able to upgrade to KDE 4 with safe-upgrade, though: it appears to *require* removing bits of KDE 3, so safe-upgrade will refuse to do it.

A more permanent workaround is to "aptitude unmarkauto kdebase-bin-kde3", which has the same effect (aptitude won't consider removing that package).

I can confirm this, including with the current head branch of aptitude. In fact, there are two bugs: it takes a godawfully long time, AND it's producing a solution that has conflicts left over. Not sure what's going on yet. Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Just FYI, I expect to upload a new version in the next week or two with a whole pile of fixes for the dependency solver.
