where is KDE

StefanP · 01-04-2013, 12:56 PM

I installed debian 6.0.6 and then tried to switch to "KDE" using:

apt-get install kde

got the following error message:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package kde is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'kde' has no installation candidate

this didn't happened to me in the previous Debian versions

What should I do next?

Well, new Debian version, new package names.

Looks like the package 'kde-full' will do ..
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/kde-full

# apt-get install kde-full kdm kwrite konqueror

EDIT : Better : # apt-get install kde-standard kdm kwrite konqueror
http://packages.debian.org/search?se...s=kde-standard
