KDE-3.4.0 install

Have attempted to install KDE-3.4.0 on my Debian system by pointing my 
sources.list at 'deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.0/ ./

The install failed because of errors with 'Kdict' and 'Kmail'.

I downloaded these two packages from the alioth.debian.org site and tried to 
install with 'dpkg -i', but got these errors:

GHLake:~# dpkg -i /root/kdict_3.4.0-0pre1_i386.deb

If I'm sending this report to the wrong place, I'm sorry.   Hope this helps 
solve the problem.
