trouble installing kde-3.0.5 on woody



I'm trying to install KDE-3 on a Debian Woody x86 system, and dpkg
isn't finding the package versions that I expect.  Anyone care to
shed some light?

My /etc/apt/sources.list includes:

  deb http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian/woody ./

and that site has:


http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian/woody/i386/qt3/libqt3-mt_3.0.5-4_i386.deb

and http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian/woody/Packages.gz has:

but dpkg (despite 'dpkg --clear-avail' followed by dselect update)
isn't finding it:

  Description: Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime version).
This package contains the files necessary for running applications that use
   Qt.
   .
   This is the threaded version.

My questions are:
  1. Why isn't it finding the 3.0.5- version?
  2. How can I tell where the 3.0.3- version is coming from?

Stumbling blocks I've come across include:
  1. The man page for sources.list doesn't describe the args portion
     of the entries, and I haven't found anything that does.
  2. The various how-to's for installing KDE on debian never seem
     to talk about what packages to install.  (I always assume that
     kdebase is the place to start, but that's only because looking
     through the list doesn't show a package called kde.)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
