So now I'm totally lost.

You need a file /etc/apt.conf containing:

Code:

APT:: Default-Release "testing";
APT::Cache-Limit 10000000;
Apt::Get::Purge;

The important part for your error is the Cache-Limit. If you cut'n'paste the code remove the space before the Default-Release.

Well, this is how my /etc/apt/sources.list now looks.

#Debian Testing
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/ sarge/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security sarge/updates main contrib non-free

#Debian Unstable
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/ unstable/non-US main contrib non-free

#KDE
deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.3/Debian stable main

Since my post with the errors that HappyTux quoted, I have managed to get some updates/upgrades.

The problem is now that it only seems to want to upgrade some of the crap i.e. wallpapers and stuff like that.

The actual KDE 3.1.3 doesn't want to play. And even if I try to get the minimal kdebase I get this

debian:/home/john# apt-get upgrade kdebase
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back
kdebase kdepasswd kdf kdict kdm kedit kfind kghostview khexedit kiconedit
kit kjots kmail knewsticker knode knotes konqueror konsole korn kpackage
kpaint kruler kscd kscreensaver ksirc ksnapshot ksysv ktimer kuser kview
libmimelib1 secpolicy
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 32 not upgraded.
debian:/home/john#

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong

regards

You are now trying to get KDE from stable while running sarge/sid it won't work comment out the stable line for KDE and get it from unstable.

Code:

HappyTux:/home/stephen# apt-cache policy kdebase
kdebase:
  Installed: 4:3.1.3-1
  Candidate: 4:3.1.3-1
  Version Table:
 *** 4:3.1.3-1 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     4:2.2.2-14.4 0
        500 http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages
     4:2.2.2-14 0
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org stable/main Packages
        990 http://ftp.de.debian.org testing/main Packages

As you can see I got KDE from unstable so this is where you should be trying to get it now with something like apt-get install kdebase/unstable.

Hi,

I've also been trying to upgrade to KDE 3.1.3 having just installed Sarge on a spare machine.
However, it seems that kdebase depends on kdesysguard which in turn depends on kdesysguardd which depends on libsensors-1debian1.
Unfortunately libsensors-1debian1 isn't available at the moment so it won't install...

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdebase: Depends: ksysguard (>= 4:3.1.3-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

My sources.list looks like this:

# testing

deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
main

# security
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

And my preferences file looks like this:

Quote:

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600

Any idea how to get around this?

Cheers

I found a clue to the missing libsensors-1debian1 problem with some more googling

Version 2.7.0-6 of libsensors-1debian1 can be downloaded from here.
I've just installed it with dpkg and now i'm going to see if KDE wants to upgrade.

Cheers
D.

Could you check the second link please?

I just went to look at it and got a "404 not found" error.

But please keep me posted - I have been getting really disheartened by my failures and lack of knowledge. I can't even get my cdrom/cdrw to play audio disc's or to get realplayer to install - I have to boot back into mandrake for that.

regards

I got the link to it from this page. When you click on the download button it takes you to a page with a list of mirrors; the .dk one was the first working one I found but you may have more luck with a different one

Once you've saved it somewhere, install it with dpkg like this...
dpkg -i libsensors-1debian1_2.7.0-6_i386.deb

After doing that I ran apt-get -t unstable install kdebase again and it worked perfectly

Cheers for that pointdexter,

I followed your instructions and the only difference is that I had to use the ".Tr" mirror.

There was only that and one other (I don't remember which) that had the libsensors-1debian1_2.7.0-6_i386.deb package.

But as soon as I got it unpacked with the dpkg command, bingo got the rest of the kdebase stuff as well.

The only downside of looking into all this is that I'm discovering just how impatient I really am - a little baggage from my "windows only" days I suppose.

again, many thanks.

regards

John

hehe, no problem
