Install kde in Sid fails - depends libkmid... - How fix?

[<tluxt2@yahoo.com>]

I just tried a fresh install of Sid & KDE.  Package "kde" refused to
install, (although "kdebase" did install), because of a couple
nonessential packages.   How can this be overcome?


I did a fresh install of Woody.
Then: apt-get install dist-upgrade    - to Sid.
then used tasksel to install X
That all worked.

Then: "apt-get -s install kde" and "apt-get install kde"
both failed with:
apt-get -s install kde

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kde: Depends: libkmid or
                libkmid-alsa but it is not going to be installed or
                libkmid-bin but it is not installable
       Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not going to be installed or
                kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages

apt-get -f install kde             - got the same result.

Now, I don't _need_ audio & sound right now.  I'd just like to get
everything else but those packages.  Can that be done???


Note: I then _did_ install:
apt-get install kdebase
which worked, but didn't even install konqueror! (and almost no other
packages either).  :(



apt-get -s install kdebase

  libjpeg62 libkonq3 liblcms libmng1 libqt2 libtiff3g libxml2 libxslt1
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  kdebase kdebase-libs kdelibs3 kdelibs3-bin kdewallpapers libbz2-1.0
libfam0
  libjpeg62 libkonq3 liblcms libmng1 libqt2 libtiff3g libxml2 libxslt1
0 packages upgraded, 15 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0  not upgraded.


I really want to install the "kde" metapackage, so I can get most
everything installed in one easy step.  

How can I get that accomplished now?  Is there any way?

Or, does someone need to file a bug report, and have ccheney or someone
fix the packages?

Thanks!
