I presume I was being naive in assuming that there was backwards
compatibility, that I could run code for an older system on a newer
system..? :-(

None whatsoever?

Does this mean that I would have to downgrade back to stable
(is there an easy way to do that?) or upgrade to unstable (which I
definitely do not plan to do!). Drat..

Yes.

I install libarts1 (1.1.2-1), but kdelibs4 (is this the first KDE
package I should install, I'm not sure what order the KDE packages
should be installed in), still complains:


Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:

            Depends: libvorbis0 (>= 1.0rc3-1) but it is not installable
            Depends: kdelibs-bin (= 4:3.1.2-0woody1)
E: Sorry, broken packages


which is bizarre as libarts1 (at the requested version) *is* installed,
and then I have the problem that it wantss libvorbis0 (not libvorbis0a)
again..

This is just going around in circles.. :-(


Thanks,


David.
