OK, I have tried this again and have been able to pinpoint a bit better
what happened.
First of all, I installed from the Dapper CD. Then, I added KDE3.5.4 as
described in the link above. (I needed to edit xorg.conf as well, but
that's a separate bug.) I rebooted, and then used adept to get the 36
security packages that remained. I rebooted again for good measure. I
did *not* install easyubuntu.
First, I tried to do it with apt-get, and it wouldn't do the upgrade, as
you can see from the attachment below.
I then did the upgrade with Adept. As before, it went to about 62% or
so, and then it said it had a dependency problem. The package it said
it was installing was libqt3-mt. There was a modal popup window, with
just the OK button.
Because this time I had the show terminal window open, I could see what
was going on. What's particularly interesting is that after the popup
and the install bar stopped, the terminal windo showed that it continued
installing.
After a while it seemed to have stopped, and it said that there were
dependency problems with the following packages:
libqt3-mt
libartslc2a
libavahi-at3-1
kdelibs4c2a
openoffice.org-kde
koffice-libs
krita
I was unable to scroll or copy-paste what was in the terminal buffer
without dismissing the modal error window, but when I did this Adept
closed.
I will reboot this machine shortly, and I will see it if it's fubar. I
can already tell that something is wrong, because I cannot reopen Adept.
