You may open a terminal and use the Aptitude ncurses interface from within a desktop GUI like KDE4. This will probably suit you better at first than trying to use the command line. The program has a "solver" than resolves dependencies and conflicts for you, but the first solution may not be the best one. You need to examine all or many of them, if there is more than one. apt-get install kde4 or aptitude install kde4 ????? will only bring in the dependencies that are needed to run the KDE4 desktop and it's components. Some of them may be newer/younger than the versions in Lenny. You will have to put Sid in your /etc/apt/sources.list temporarily, if you want to use KDE4 packages. Since KDE4 is so new, you can't run it without some new packages from Sid or Experimental. This will be rectified in time, but KDE4 won't be in Lenny at all, if I understand correctly. It will be in the successor to Lenny. Don't try Adept right now. Use Aptitude in a terminal window. Do not use the command-line interface, use the ncurses interface (type "aptitude" [no quotes] by itself on the command line. To make it do work, you will have to be root, or let it become root. (Just open a root terminal when you open a terminal.) If you have all of GTK, etc. installed, you can try Synaptic. It will run under KDE4, as long as your glib, and gtk/gnome libraries are in good shape. If a few icons are missing, you may need to install an icon theme package. Since KDE4 is still farm fresh, there may be a few items like that that aren't all there. Mark Allums -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
