If that's the case, then the new KDE / Gnome should "just work". What is
leading you to believe that KDE / Gnome are not the current version?
Also, post the output of "apt-cache policy kde" and "apt-cache policy
gnome". You might also want to check out the individual packages they
depend on, and their dependencies, until you get to app packages like
konqueror or nautilus, because the meta-package versions don't always match
their dependencies' versions.
