Re: kde2.1 potato - arts package is broken, asks for uninstalable packages

[James Duberg <duberg@cts.com>]

OK folks, what am I missing here? (Plenty, I'm sure)

I've just installed 2.2r2. My first experience with Debian.

I've done apt-get dist-upgrade. I'm using the default stable sites in 
sources.list.

I want to install KDE 2.1. It's not found on the default stable sites.

When I put a different recommended site, ftp://kde.tdyc.com/debian, into 
the sources.list, and run apt-get update, then apt-get install kdebase 
task-kfe, I get a long list of unmet dependencies.

I would sure like to get KDE 2.1 on my system, but (as you can probably 
tell) am not capable of compiling it or anything like that.

Any help would be appreciated. Just tell me what to read.
