No Screensaver in KDE?

I just installed KDE 3.5.1 by doing the following:

Code:

#apt-get install x-window-system kdm kde-core

Now I noticed that I have no screensavers available. There is an options for "random" or "none" but there are none installed.

I then tried:

Code:

# apt-get install xscreensaver

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.debian.org etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.debian.org etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

E: Couldn't find package xscreensaver

search the apt repos for kde-multimedia or something, i had to with FC4, the package contains all sorts, themes, icons, screensavers

I found the following you see below but I really rather stay away from something like that since that will install a bunch of multimedia apps and crap that I don't want to clutter my system with. Is there no simple solution to just installing a "screensaver" application or something like that w/o all that multimedia clutter?
