Your problem is that the testing debian archive has a pin value of 900 and download.uk.ke.org has a pin value of 500. So apt-get will always try to fetch the kde packages on testing and not where you want. Put something like that in your preferences file : Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 333 that will lower the pin value for the testing archive and make everything sweet as milk. Try ap-get update and apt-cache policy kmail to see if it works. By the way, why do you mix Sid, Sarge and Woody ? It looks to me like a recipe for problems. Go for an all-sid box or an all-woody box. When Kde 3.x enters the Debian archive you can go back to Sarge. But before it happens, I don't see the point of your configuration ?
