RE: 178 days and counting
further to my last email: for those that will bitch about it - this is how
I setup my /etc/apt/sources.list config file:

Yes I know I have testing (and the email previously said it was stable -
trust me I tried stable as well). This is the error message I get (the same
for both stable and testing):

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones
used
instead.
I have installed qt3 and the develop package as well. I've got the correct
version of g++ installed etc. I've tried using dselect - no go. Still
fails. In fact I downloaded (from a ftp site) the whole debs for kde 3.0.3
about 2 and a bit weeks ago and i've even tried to install from that
(manually and also setting it up on sources.list). I've tried copying from
cd to hdd and doing it that way...no go. I'm sorry to say it, but kde is
wasting my time. Until they learn to make a ./configure file (say
openoffice can do it, why can't kde?) I won't touch them. I will not be
recommending kde at all. I don't have a problem with debian, it's
fantastic. I'm also happy with dselect and apt. It's kde.

mmm well...i shouldn't say this, but i'm going to say this...after an
endless nightmare of trying to get woody stable to upgrade kde 2.2 to
kde 3
I give up. I've never used kde before (being a gnome man up until now)
- I
wanted to try kde and give it a fair go, but sorry. After all the
installation attempts and hassles, forget it. I don't want nothing to
do
with kde. As far as i'm concerned it's a pile of shit, a big pile of
shit.
I don't give a rats ass what anyone else thinks of kde, nor what others
think of my opinion, it can be shoved in a nice brown orifice for all I
care. As yes - i've tried very very very very hard to get this stupid
piece
of shit to run - i've spent 8 hours on this. I've update from stable to
testing. Still no go. I don't care anymore. Question - I want to
totally
remove EVERY piece of kde 2.2 from my system. Totally. Short of a
reinstall (and not choosing kde) how would I do this? I'll stick with
gnome
thanks (i'm sure i'm going to get flamed for this but I don't care one
iota).

It appears to be what I want. That looks like what I did, though, and
there
were still libraries that were required and only available from
woody/unstable
(libc3.x maybe? I don't remember.) that were dependencies. I'll try
this
again with only ~schoepf added to the source list and see what happens.
Thanks!
