> You've gone beyond the official Debian repositories; expect breakage. I installed kde from Alioth once before and it worked perfectly. But, I understand that I should expect some breakage, despite KDE now being at 3.4.2. But, some times, a bit of risk is needed in life, yes?

I think I actually know what the problem is: Debian Sarge is telling apt-get (or aptitude) to install these two packages: kdeedu-data and konq-plugins. However, both of these packages have been replaced (by kdebase-data and kdelibs-data respectively). So, what I really need to do is tell either apt-get or aptitude to stop trying to install them: they will not work because they have been replaced. I tried a hold (?) with =, but that didn't seem to solve the problem. Have you any suggestions? I thank you kindly in advance.
