kde 3 on testing/unstable -- newbie query
I am a newbie to debian (former RH user.) I have a set of woody CDs. I
installed a base system, upgrade to testing using the go-woody script.
I then installed X with apt-get install x-window-system. I now have a
working X install with twm.
I now want to install kde 3.1.4 (it's present in knoppix). I added the
line
deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.4/Debian stable main
to /etc/apt/sources.list and ran apt-get update. Unfortunately when I run
apt-get install kde I get the following errors:
------------------------
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde: Depends: kdelibs3 but it is not installable
Depends: libarts but it is not installable or
libarts-alsa but it is not installable or
libarts-bin but it is not installable
Depends: libkmid but it is not installable or
libkmid-alsa but it is not installable or
libkmid-bin but it is not installable
Depends: kdebase but it is not going to be installed or
kdebase3 but it is not installable
Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not installable or
kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable
Depends: kdebase-libs but it is not installable or
kdebase3-libs but it is not installable
Depends: kdebase-doc but it is not installable or
kdebase3-doc but it is not installable
Depends: kab but it is not installable
Depends: kpm but it is not installable
Depends: kfract but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
--------------------------
What am I doing wrong ? I really would like to start working with kde on
my debian install.
any pointers would be welcome.
Sharukh.
ps: speaking of knoppix, the line for kde in sources.list is commented
out.
