Thanks Alexander, Panther 10.3.9 and you're right about the old version. Commander lists many kde packages as binaries version 3.4.1-21 so I guess I would have to fetch all of them seperately? I really want just the new kdepim3 to see if it fixes the kontact, kmail and kaddressbook crashes. So you are saying to: sudo apt-zip kdepim3-3.4.1-21? then I would: apt-get install kdepim3-3.4.1-21? Same machine, fast connection at the coffee shop, so I don't need to copy them to a different box.
