Hi Ralf,
looks like the kde mirrors only have the kdebase 3.1.1-0woody1 debs instead of 0woody 2.
All other kdebase woody2 I could get from my local ktown apt-cacher but xfonts-konsole
failed.
lapmara[100] ~ # apt-cache policy xfonts-konsole
xfonts-konsole:
Installed: 4:3.1.1-0woody1
Candidate: 4:3.1.1-0woody2
Version Table:
4:3.1.1-0woody2 0
500 http://debian.mpe.mpg.de stable/main Packages # ktown entry
*** 4:3.1.1-0woody1 0
500 http://debian.mpe.mpg.de woody/main Packages # download.kde entry
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Can you please upload the 0woody2 debs to official kde mirrors?

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
