Ivan, Thank you for replying so quickly and so clearly. In return, I owe it to you to be prompt with an apology. I know nothing about packaging and if I believed that it was packaging which was behind the problem that I reported, I should have raised it with you in a private e-mail, not in a public message. That was a faux pas on my part. Sorry.
Having set aside packaging as the problem, may I seek your views or those of others reading this on what the problem might be? I ask because the problem appears to be reproducible. There was a post on the Libranet list a week or two ago by another user who reported the same symptoms. In my case, I had installed Libranet v1.9.1 only hours before trying to install KDE 2.2.1. To the best of my recall, I had done nothing on the system except a series of apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade (from potato to woody). What I had done yesterday was to install KDE2.1.1 and a number of other ``application groups" from the Libranet CD-ROM. Today, I decided that a sounder approach would be to reinstall, but this time to do the smallest minimal install provided under Libranet, upgrade to Woody and then install KDE 2.2.1 into a system where no previous version of KDE had been installed before. Do you believe that the problem which the other user and I had had might be the result of Libranet's implementation? The Libranet developers watch their mailing list closely; if that is your view, they will almost certainly want to know. Once again, sorry for the attack of ``foot-in-mouth" disease.

The version required by those packages is already in var/cache/apt/archives on your system based on your lists above. There is no packaging error as the proper versions are available and have been available. The only "problem with kdelibs" that existed dealing with this happened for a single day and was the day that KDE 2.2 was released. Ivan -- ---------------- Ivan E.
