For the record, this is what I have done on two (2) woody boxen to upgrade from kde2 to kde3: [1] /etc/init.d/kdm stop [2] Run the following commands to get a list of kde/qt packages to be rid of: dpkg -l '*kd*' | grep ^i dpkg -l 'k*' | grep ^i dpkg -l '*qt*' | grep ^i [3] Run something like this command, based on results of [2]: apt-get -u remove --purge libqt2 kdm kde kdebase-doc kdewallpapers libkdenetwork1 [4] Repeat [2] until all related packages are gone [5] Run the following commands, and remove *all* kde/qt remnants, possibly including the actual debs: find / | grep -i kd | less find / | grep -i qt | less [6] Edit /etc/apt/preferences: Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 600 [5] When your system is really clean, then run this: apt-get -u update apt-get -u -t unstable install kde kdm Of course, all of the above requires root authority. I use sudo, and this worked on two out of two boxen. -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
