However, what do i have to do to That's no wonder. The KDE people don't provide binaries. Never have. They only provide FTP space for distribution binaries that don't have a central distribution mechanism like Debian's apt.

Yes, if you are daring you can do the following: * Upgrade apt to the current woody release (0.5.x is minimum IIRC). * Write a /etc/apt/preferences that contains Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release o=Debian Pin-Priority: -10 * Put _both_ woody and sid lines into your sources.list. * Call apt-get update. * Now what you install will be woody, but you can force unstable/sid by calling apt-get -t unstable install kdebase konqueror for example. -- Jens Benecke http://www.hitchhikers.de/ - Die kostenlose Mitfahrzentrale für ganz Europa
