AFAICS that implies that kde is currently > incompatible with cups printing in sid. Yup. That's the case... KDE (specifically kdelibs) depend on a version of libcupsys compiled against an old version of libgnutls. Unfortunately the new and old versions won't coexist (or at least their packages won't) so with the packages as they are you can't have both... It sucks. Just looked at the debian-qt-kde list and the solution suggested is to install the testing version of libcupsys (and presumably the testing versions of anything for which the unstable versions won't then work). If you're not using Gnome this should be fine. (I actually had to do a similar thing to get evolution working, although the old lib would happily install alongside the new one in that case) Hope you can get it working, Tristan
