Please post your "dpkg -l | grep kde" from a working Lenny KDE 3.
I've already posted mine[1].
Thus far people asserting that it works have actually been running KDE 4
and/or Sid. The question is whether Lenny's default ktorrent 3 works
with Lenny's default KDE 3.5.9 using only the parts of Lenny's KDE 4
brought in by ktorrent 3's dependencies.

I already have debsums installs. No problems related to KDE or anything
remotely close to KDE. I've appended the output to this message.
As noted in the thread, I have removed/purged ktorrent 3 and its
KDE 4 dependencies using dpkg, run ktorrent2.2 successfully for some
days, and reinstalled ktorrent 3. No change.
FWIW, my ktorrent2.2 is currently removed ("deinstall ok config-files")
not purged, so I can return to a working configuration.

No missing dependencies (apt-get --dry-run -f install).

Modestas indicated that "kbuildsycoca4" perhaps with "--noincremental"
should create "~/.kde4". It does not. What should create "~/.kde4"?
Why is it not included in ktorrent 3 dependencies?
If I "mkdir ~/.kde4" and then run "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental"
nothing is placed in "~/.kde4". I have previously posted my
kbuildsycoca4 output[2]. What more is needed to diagnose why
kbuildsycoca4 is not putting anything in "~/.kde4". FWIW, running
ktorrent itself does not put anything in "~/.kde4" either.
Nothing is scanning "/usr/lib/kde4" for the plugins. What should be
scanning "/usr/lib/kde4"? Why is it not included in ktorrent 3
dependencies?
ktorrent 3 is unable to start service 'khelpcenter'. Does ktorrent 3
work with khelpcenter 4:4.0.0.really.3.5.9.dfsg.1-5 or does it need
khelpcenter4, and if so why is it not a dependency?
ktorrent 3 under KDE 3.5.9 is really ugly, and the fonts are not
anti-aliased. Is there any way to fix this without installing KDE 4?
Thanks,
