I always tend to file bug reports.. :)
First of all, you can see that this is just a general idea so others who are
going to jump in and try an 'apt-get upgrade' might face... Also, the

The packages themselves are meant to handle dependencies, that is the beauty
of Debian isn't it?

I expected that, that is why the dependency forced a certain version of
libfreetype. But others may not expect it.

Again, this is to point out that 'apt-get upgrade' doesn't work in this case,
and people have to watch out.

If you notice, I am NOT using unstable, but WOODY..
Again, I am doing testing of the upgrade, for our clients are going to run
into the same issues.. This is to point out that there are some dependency
problems that prevent an apt-get upgrade, or apt-get install in moving to
this version of KDE..
I have the ability to deal with these issues, others on the list may not.
