After purging the files that cause conflicts you need to run apt-get -f install that will install the newer versions from ktown, though with the missing dependencies for those packages, you need to have the -f passed there too to pull the missing packages out of the debian mirrors for installation. When that is done, run apt-get dist-upgrade
unfortunately I have already done that to no avail :(I tried it again just to be sure and it finds nothing to install on apt-get -f install or apt-get dist-upgrade
My previous KDE debs were Karolinas. The errors I get when I try to run apt-get -f install kdm kdebase are a whole list of depends which all seem to be the same sort of thing:
Depends kwin (>+4:3.1.1-0woody2) but it is not going to be installed Depends libkonq4 (>+4:3.1.1-0woody2) but it is not going to be installed kdm: Depends kdelibs4 (>+4:3.1.1) but it is not going to be installed My sources.list looks like: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main deb http://ftp.openoffice.tuxfamily.org/openoffice testing main contrib deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main deb http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/kde stable maindeb http://security.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates main contrib non-free
TIA for any advice you can offer Rachel
