thx steve. so I tried installing kdelibs, kdebase, and kde... after which I am still getting this message. any idea which bits of kde I'm missing?
No clue. I just know when I had that error message it was when I had installed k3b from unstable. I went back with Aptitude set to unstable and just upgraded everything that was associated with KDE from 3.2 to 3.3. That fixed it for me though it left me without a clue as to which package in particular needed upgrading. I figured if k3b was complaining I might as well up them all so there's no complains from anything else from something being too new. :)
