I agree with Boyd in his understanding of your post. What is the use of language if you say one thing that a reasonable person would understand but meant something completely different? If a reasonable receiver does not understand the message as intended, the communication was faulty. > that I don't have the mysql server installed and that kde isn't > working anymore after the update. What follows from Boyd's post is that mysql is not necessary for a working system and he disagrees with you that removal of mysql breaks KE. Proof: I have the new KDE working fine in Debian Testing even after having removed mysql server. So the fact is that mysql is not necessary for a working KDE unless you are using package which require it. Perhaps you should see what exactly is broken. I tried to help in this thread by posting the log of packages that I removed while removing mysql. From your sole response to that post, I gather your kdm is not working. Try gdm instead, I use it without any problem. Other than that, you didn't report any issues to the resolution I posted so I thought you had it all working again. -- Please reply to this list only.
