Re: Upgrading KDE and it's dependencies
Am I the only one who upgrades KDE without problems? In the 2+ years I've
been using Debian, I've taken KDE from 2.2.2 to 3.4.1, including every point
release along the way, with only one hiccup; And that was a random 3rd party
repository for KDE 3.0 under Woody that jammed on the KDEPIM package at one
point. Aside from that problem 2 years ago, KDE upgrades haven't caused me
any notable problems. Just remember to log out and back in again after
upgrading kdelibs or kicker or something along those lines and you're
fine. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
