Re: impossible upgrade KE3 to KDE4

[Guan de dio <guan.dedio@gmail.com>]

Hi Manolete,

First. Are you sure you want to install ALL KDE4, with all the games, the educational programs, etc, etc? If not you can try the package "kde4-minimal" and later install the programs you want individually.

For my kde4-minimal is enough
 

Second. I would try the fast and easy way instead of wasting time

OK, I try to explain me again. 


I want to install Debian with KDE 4.2 in my PC ( it is a old pc that I use for testing). Currently I have 2 Debian Sid installeds, 1º in a Laptop (with KDE4.1.3 I need to upgrade it), and another one in a VMWare with KDE4.2

It's not my first time, but I don't know what is happen. 

Normally, I install a basic Debian with KDE 3.5 form a CDInstall of etch. 

Then I modifed the apt/sourece.list to make a dist-updgrade to sid, because this is the branch of Debian where I don't have problems, and I like to use the last verions of the software. 

After making the dist-upgrade, currently I can see severl warning about /etc/modprobe.d/ blacklist.XXX  has not config file, .. etc etc ...

Are there something broken in the branch?

After that I enable the experimental branch and in a console try to make 

aptitude install -t experimental kde4-minimal 

aptitude shows me a lot of broken dependence that I can't to resolve

I try to with a CD install Debian from experimental branch. I download this CD yesterday, so it is in the last version. This CD has got KDE3.5, when I try to upgrade to KDE4 I have the same broken dependence. 

I don't know it the sid and experimental are update the KDE4 package and it is normal.
