Install KDE 4.0 packages from the Debian experimental branch
Oops, I may have sent this same mail [earlier] to the wrong email address :-(
For the pass few days, unable to install KDE4 after following the
instructions on your website
(http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html) .
Had confirmed that the repository is correct
###
Error Output :
apt-get -t experimental install kdebase-workspace kdebase kdm
Reading package lists... Done

kdm is already the newest version.
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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdebase: Depends: kdebase-bin (>= 4:4.0.0-1) but 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-6 is
to be installed

1. Any idea what is missing in my installation or a bug?
2. I am installing KDE4 over KDE3. If KDE4 cannot be installed KDE3
(which I think should be able to), what is the simplest failproof
command to remove all of KDE3?
Thanks in advance for the info.
Mich
