sources.list entry for KDE - how to construct?



Hi

	I'm not stupid, but I feel that way sometimes; I seem to be unable  
to get my sources.list right for KDE.   Examining the lynx -dump command (see  
below), we find that the Packages.gz file resides in the same place as all  
the .deb files.  According to my understanding, apt-get looks for the  
Packages.gz file in the second field (URI) of the sources.list, and the .deb  
files themselves in the third field (distribution).  So I reckon my entry  
should look like this:

deb ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/deb/potato/i386 /


which totally does not work, or like this

deb ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/deb/potato i386/

which seems happy, but then doesn't show the packages as available for  
dselect.  Has anyone worked this out?

lynx -dump  
<ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/deb/potato/i386/

Current directory is /pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/deb/potato/i386
