Then you read the wrong mailing lists. I sometimes work on Debian KDE bug reports, and using apt-get for major upgrades is a known, and not-going-to-be-fixed-any-time-soon bug. > Anyway, how do the debian kde guys make it to do it almost painless? Well erm, making the dependency statements as simple as possible helps, but apt-get dist-upgrade currently still fails on upgrading from woody to testing iirc, and we have no idea how to fix it. cheers domi
