I came across this too. It's easy to get sorted. Just note, that Arts
from Sarge is 1.1.2-1 and Arts from KDE is 1.1.2-0. That's the reason.
All KDE packages are available, but Sarge's Arts is considered _newer_
and thus, in dselect you see only it's version of Arts, 1.1.2-1, and
NOT the KDE's one (1.1.2-0woody)! :) Now when KDE's package requests
Arts, dselect will automaticly select it for you, but _wrong_ version,
the Sarge's one, which has incompatible dependencies in combination with
for-woody-compiled KDE.
This is because ftp.kde.org is compiled for WOODY and _not_ SARGE.
That's why there are these dependency problems.
All you have to do (as I did and everything works ok) is to manually
download KDE's complete Arts 1.1.2-0 (using an ftp client) and WOODY's
version of libvorbis0. Remove any installed Arts and all (currently
installed, Sarge's) libvorbis dependencies. And "dpkg -i *.deb". That
should do it. Maybe you will have to give up something, what depends on
libvorbis, but that's the price you pay :) As far as I know, I didn't
have to remove any other package because of that dependency. Just
libvorbis's -dev, which you probably don't have installed at all.
For any further questions, just ask. Hope this helps. It needs just a
bit of tweaking.
Sincerely,
Dave
