how to gather info for reporting problem



Attempted to install a full kde setup today but landed in the soup
once it was done. 

I just get a black screen with a terminal emulator running, no menus
are available with mouse clicks or anywhere on the screen in terms of
an icon.  Just the terminal.  Any apps I open are slapped up into the
top left corner where the title bar becomes inaccessible.  If I open
anything else it covers the previous app, then I have two with the one
under inaccessible.  Can't even be raised back to top.

So it clear enough something or things are boogered up.

I want to report what has happened and maybe get a
leg up on fixing things back up.

How can I determine what pkgs were installed and which removed during
the kde install?

I was prompted a few times about uninstalling and installing
things. And I remember one prompt that asked me if it was ok to leave
a list of dependencies unmet.  

I just don't know debian well enough yet to competently find that kind
of info and summarize for a discussion here.

There must be common ways of finding that kind of info.
