Do somebody know how to solve this problem?
Yes. try installing kde-core, then the other bits of kde when you need them. The meta-packages that give you the kde apps are: kde-core, kde-amusements, kdeaddons, kdeadmin, kdeartwork, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, kdeutils, kdewebdew It should be easy to guess which app is in which meta package. > Is it a bug? Yes and no. the kde package is a metapackage, which means to exists soley as a package to drag in all the packages you need. That implies that if one of the packages it depends on breaks, then it doesn't work. Becuase of this, the kde maintainers only really get it to work when the rest of kde is fairly solid. Its fine when running sarge, but it is unlikey ever to work on etch or sid owning to the fuild nature of etch and sid. The maintainers know about the problem and you shouldn't clog up the BTS with a report on it. Pete > Dexter > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
