You must not have reinstalled the exact same set of package then. Or maybe kdebase was not properly installed on your system the first time. I uninstalled all the kde packages, cleaned up and reinstalled the exact same set of packages and it still did not work. So i investigated a bit more and found the kcmkonq.desktop file. It contained a reference to kcontrol/file-manager.html which was not installed on my system. So I searched for it on the Debian site and found that it was provided by kdebase. So I installed kdebase and this solved the problem. Except that kdebase recommends kdewallpapers, kscreensaver and kdebase-audiolibs (plus a few others) which I definitely do not want to install on my system (why would I?). So I am now in recommends~depends hell in dselect. Btw, I entered a bug report about this problem (I mention it here to avoid duplicate bug reports). I don't know yet the bug number but the subject is 'konqueror depends on kdebase...'. I'm sure this will be resolved in due time. -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment -- Barry LePatner
