I'm trying to install KDE-3 on a Debian Woody x86 system, and dpkg isn't finding the package versions that I expect. Anyone care to shed some light?
My /etc/apt/sources.list includes:
deb http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian/woody ./
and that site has:
http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian/woody/i386/qt3/libqt3-mt_3.0.5-4_i386.deb
and http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian/woody/Packages.gz has:

This package contains the files necessary for running applications that use
Qt.
.
This is the threaded version.
My questions are: 1. Why isn't it finding the 3.0.5- version? 2. How can I tell where the 3.0.3- version is coming from?
Stumbling blocks I've come across include:
1. The man page for sources.list doesn't describe the args portion
of the entries, and I haven't found anything that does.
2. The various how-to's for installing KDE on debian never seem
to talk about what packages to install. (I always assume that
kdebase is the place to start, but that's only because looking
through the list doesn't show a package called kde.)Any insight would be greatly appreciated! --Jeff
