Konstruct is very ticklish. A good way to run it is make -k .... This will make everything it CAN make. You may catch the error messages it cannot. Now run without the -k. It will stop at each failed make, download problem, and try again. For kaffeine, go to the apps/multimedia and make it there. Same for a lot of stuff like kdevelop, koffice, et. al. meta/kde3/Makefile does NOT install these! > > But I since have been able to bring in the alioth kde 3.5 packages > without aptitude trying to remove 400-odd packages or having it tell me > such and such package is uninstallable.

The problem with alioth is there is no upgrade path. You specify the version in your /etc/apt/sources.list. From Sid, 3.5.1 will come in as it is posted. > > Is this thing ready to play of Sid or should I stick with my konstuct > > build? > > Don't know for sure, since I am using the alioth packages and those are > not "official" debian.
