Re: kde 3 on testing/unstable -- newbie query
And thus we see that Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. said, : I now want to install kde 3.1.4 (it's present in knoppix). I added the line You might want to try using Debian Unstable/"sid" since it does contain kde 3.1.4 already. You will just need to modify the line that you have for stable and change it to unstable. In your case this will probably look like: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main After you do an 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade', you will end up with a Debian Sid system and then 'do an apt-get install kde'. Remember to look up: http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianKDE That site has really good pointers on what to do to get KDE. It also lists how to get KDE if you want to use Stable itself instead of switching to sid.

I think the packages at kde.org are for woody, not later versions. At any rate, the safest route is to follow the advice at http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianKDE Note that KDE on testing or side currently will need a manual assist to install properly; you need the libsensors referenced on the preceding page. Also, if you stick strictly with testing, it may not work. I know testing has a mix of KDE 2 and KDE 3 at the moment, and it may be missing some KDE 3 packages. Bottom line: even if your target is testing, it's best to use pull from unstable using the pinning trick described on the wiki. > > any pointers would be welcome. > > Sharukh. > > ps: speaking of knoppix, the line for kde in sources.list is commented > out. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

kde 3 on testing/unstable -- newbie query
I am a newbie to debian (former RH user.) I have a set of woody CDs. I installed a base system, upgrade to testing using the go-woody script. I then installed X with apt-get install x-window-system. I now have a working X install with twm. I now want to install kde 3.1.4 (it's present in knoppix). I added the line deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.4/Debian stable main to /etc/apt/sources.list and ran apt-get update. Unfortunately when I run apt-get install kde I get the following errors: 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: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kde: Depends: kdelibs3 but it is not installable Depends: libarts but it is not installable or libarts-alsa but it is not installable or libarts-bin but it is not installable Depends: libkmid but it is not installable or libkmid-alsa but it is not installable or libkmid-bin but it is not installable Depends: kdebase but it is not going to be installed or kdebase3 but it is not installable Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not installable or kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable Depends: kdebase-libs but it is not installable or kdebase3-libs but it is not installable Depends: kdebase-doc but it is not installable or kdebase3-doc but it is not installable Depends: kab but it is not installable Depends: kpm but it is not installable Depends: kfract but it is not installable E: Broken packages -- What am I doing wrong ? I really would like to start working with kde on my debian install. any pointers would be welcome.
