I just wanted to be sure that the relevant people were keeping an eye on it this time. Karoline's deb's come to mind here. This is why I usually stick with the Debian archives, but I really wanted KDE-3.1 and am not willing to play around with testing again since the png fiasco a while ago. As long as the people who know are aware of the issues I'm sure they can organise a clean upgrade. Thanks for the clarification and the info. Cheers, John Gay
