Hi, I'm running potato with KDE 2.1.2 and want to upgrade to KDE 2.2.1. So I added the unstable-tree in the apt-sources (correct ?), in order to install just KDE from the unstable tree. After the first "apt-get install kde -s", I was surprised of some dependencies, e.g. xfree86-common, perl-base, libncurses5, gcc ...
Now my question: Why do I have to install xfree86-4.1 with KDE ? I have no problem to install KDE from unstable, cause I can use fvwm in case it will not work. But I'm unsure to install xfree from unstable. So what can I do ? cu Andreas here's the result of "apt-get install kde -s": Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree...
