Upgrading kde 2.2 to 3.x in debian 3.0r2
 

I just happened to installed to install debian 3.0r2 finally ! :-)

It has kde 2.2 with it which I would like to upgrade to 3.x. Can anyone guide me steps to it. I know it is through apt-get but I am not able to get it.

Sincerely,

Anmol Misra

Here are the steps;

edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line;
deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.4/Debian stable main

do apt-get update && apt-get install arts kdelibs kdebase kdegraphics kdeadmin

when these have been installed;

do apt-get install kdemultimedia kdepim kdenetwork (and any other apps you fancy)

E: Sorry, broken packages
Anmol:/etc/apt#

Also it says kdegraphics not found. when i type that line in sources.list

Did you follow this exactly as above? I have done this numerous times and not had a problem.

yes I did exactly that and got those errors. Wondering if myversion of debian is different? or something?

Sincerely,

Anmol Misra

Double check that line in /etc/apt/sources.list
then repeat using;
apt-get update
apt-get install arts kdelibs kdebase kdegraphics kdeadmin

I have just checked the packages file and kdegraphics is definitely there.
