I didn't notice that in the sources.list that you listed in your prior
post. As far as I know, KDE3 is not going to be a part of Woody. Hence,
it will always be depending on libraries found in Unstable. Unstable may
share some these libraries with Woody, but you can't depend on that.
You can have a mixed Woody and Unstable system. For that you should ask
on the debian-user ML.

That would work too. Or you can start aptitude, and then press the "u"
key.

Same thing. Though you can also use aptitude from the command line by
giving it parameters. For example, "aptitude update."

Earlier experimental debs allowed it, but we are past that at this
point.

You are running a Woody system. Some of the libraries you need for KDE3
are found only in Unstable (aka Sid). You will have to figure out a way
to run a Woody/Unstable mix.
If I understand you correctly, you took lines referencing Stable/Potato
and changed them to refer to Woody. Do not use both Woody and Testing in
your lines. Use one or the other. Preferably, use Woody. Currently
Stable is Potato, which will soon be obsolete. Woody will soon be
Stable. If this doesn't make any sense ftp to one of the Debian mirrors,
and look at the pointers/symlinks.
Since you are new to Debian, my suggestion would be that you stick to
KDE 2.2 and Woody for the time being. If your goal is to have a working
system available at all times, this would be appropriate. You can
sometimes break an Unstable system. There have been cases where it was
broken so badly that one couldn't even log in! IIRC, there was a problem
with one of the pam packages.

As far as I know, yes. There may be a workaround where you build your
own KDE3 packages.
