How badly do you need koffice in the next week? It has not yet been rebuilt
against kde 3.4.2, but I expect that to happen sometime during this coming
week. So, as far as I can tell, these are your options:
If you need koffice now:
1) Build it yourself:
apt-get source koffice
apt-get build-dep koffice
cd koffice-VERSION
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
*Note: I'm not certain this will work, as some build-deps may need to be
changed.
2) Downgrade kde to the version in testing. This *might* be possible by
setting /etc/apt/preferences to pin testing at 1001, and the apt-get
install kde. But, I'm not sure.
If you can wait a few days to a week, I would recommend you just wait
instead.
