Failed upgrade to KDE 2.2.1
Well, I had KDE 2.1.2 installed, and I couldn't leave well enough
alone :( I just had to get KDE 2.2.1, just for fun. I shoulda known
better :)
I thought I read around this list, and a couple others who had
successfully done this, so it couldn't be that hard, right?? So what
happened?
My /etc/apt/preferences files looks like:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 777
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 333
I've already updated everything to what just showed up in testing with
apt-get update. Now, with the new apt-get, I do
apt-get -t unstable install kde
and I get an error installing stuff. Here is the output of the above
command:

Any pointers or clues as to what I've done wrong? When I try to just
install kde using apt-get install kde I get a bunch of errors about
broken dependencies from apt.
