kdebase        2.1-20010115-1 KDE core applications  
kdelibs3       2.1-beta2-0128 KDE core libraries (runtime files)
kdelibs3-crypt 2.1-beta2-0128 KDE core libraries (Crypto Modules)
libqt2.2       2.2.4-1        Qt GUI Library (runtime version).  


Hrmmm perhaps that is the answer. It does look like kdebase is an old version.
In doing the most recent apt-get upgrade -u it does say that kdebase is being 
held back.
How do i force it to get upgraded?

thanks
