Yes, that sucks :(

The woody package compiles fine on a potato system. I have .debs if you
want them: ftp://tux.creighton.edu/pub/pbrutsch/kde2.0

It might be a good idea to. It usually is when a x.0 release first somes
out :)

The KDE repository at debian.tdyc.com is still there, and contains an
apt-get-able archive. The binaries, however, have unresolved symbols at
runtime :(
I'm in the process of building KDE 2.0 for potato from scratch (using
libmng and libqt2.2 from woody) - fortunately, the CVS checkout I have has
the debian/ directory for building .debs :). I could probably make them
available through apt-get when I get done in 5million (or so years)...
