installing kde 3xx

BLAMM0 · 08-22-2003, 06:53 PM

hi

i add the kde source to my apt.sources,
but when i apt-get update, apt-get install kde, it says kde already the latest version

(1xx i guess)

maybe somebody could help me ?

thanks.

Latest KDE is available from Unstable, Copy the lines for stable and replace every mention of stable in the copies with unstable.

now type

apt-get update
apt-get -t unstable install kde

And you'll get the latest KDE.

Remove the unstable lines from sources if you don't want them, or keep them and add

APT::Default-Release "stable";

To your /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf file.

So anytime your need something bang uptodate 'apt-get -t unstable' will work. and everthing remains the same.

I'd remove the KDE sources.

look at this kde.org page: http://kde.org/download/

and use this sources.list URI:
deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.3/Debian stable main

I just did this on two woody machines yesterday, you may run into problems mixing stable and unstable packages.
