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. --------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Ign http://kubuntu.org edgy Release.gpg Get:1 http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security Release.gpg [189B] Get:2 http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy Release.gpg [189B] Get:3 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy Release.gpg [189B] Get:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy-updates Release.gpg [189B] Get:5 http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security Release [19.6kB] Ign http://kubuntu.org edgy Release Get:6 http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy Release [34.7kB] Ign http://kubuntu.org edgy/main Packages Err http://kubuntu.org edgy/main Packages 404 Not Found Get:7 http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/main Packages [14B] Get:8 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy Release [34.7kB] Get:9 http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy/universe Packages [2678kB] Get:10 http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/restricted Packages [14B] Get:11 http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/main Sources [14B] Get:12 http://security.ubuntu.com edgy-security/restricted Sources [14B] Get:13 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy-updates Release [19.6kB] Get:14 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy/main Sources [273kB] Get:15 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy/restricted Sources [1427B] Get:16 http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy/main Packages [660kB] Get:17 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy-updates/main Packages [14B] Get:18 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy-updates/restricted Packages [14B] Get:19 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy-updates/main Sources [14B] Get:20 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com edgy-updates/restricted Sources [14B] Get:21 http://archive.ubuntu.com edgy/restricted Packages [4617B] Fetched 3726kB in 16s (228kB/s) Failed to fetch http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-354/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Reading package lists...
