Hmmm, now that I read it again, I believe that should be "experimental-
snapshots" instead of "experimental".
Cause it is definately not wise to unconditionally install everything from
"experimental". But then "experimental-snapshots" only works when the
4.7.4 packages have been uploaded there.
But that doesn´t seem to be the case:
martin@merkaba:~> LANG=C apt-cache policy kdebase-runtime
kdebase-runtime:
Installed: 4:4.7.4-1
Candidate: 4:4.7.4-1
Version table:
*** 4:4.7.4-1 0
120 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main amd64
Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
4:4.7.2-1 0
110 http://qt-kde.debian.net/debian/ experimental-snapshots/main
amd64 Packages
4:4.6.5-1+b1 0
450 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages
So I had the luck that I installed KDE 4.7.2 while it was in experimental-
snapshots and from there the upgrade to 4.7.4 was easy.
For upgrading from Wheezy/Sid KDE 4.6.5 to 4.7.4 I suggest naming KDE
metapackages explicitely.
Ciao,
