Hello Henning,

yesterday I did a upgrade from 3.0.5a to 3.1 on my sarge system (some
packages are from sid). It works mostly, but to do this is a mess. Perhaps
I am doing something wrong. I had to specify every program with version
number, e.g. 

apt-get install kate=4:3.1* kedit=4:3.1* ......

This was a lot of work and has taken the whole evening. I do not know, why
it is not possible to use the metapackages, e.g. 

apt-get install kdeutils

This gives a lot of dependency problems and results in the above mentioned
behaviour.

Am I doing something wrong? Has anybody a hint what could have gone wrong? 
sources.list wrong? I don't know.

But nevertheless, it works and it looks great. Thanks to Ralf who is doing a
great job on that. I appreciate that.

Thomas
