What I don't understand is why I am told by my Debian system that xkeyval 
version 2005.dfsg.3-1 is installed and is the newest version. 
By the way, the package from CTAN is xkeyval v2.5f
Do I need an older version (2.5)?
Anybody out there who uses both debian and powerdot who could give me a hint?

yes, the parts have to go to several places in the TeX-tree

enumitem and graphicx-psmin are apparently not available under debian. 
for pstricks I have texlive-pstricks (and texlive-pdfetex and pgf)

I created a directory texmf + textree in my home and put the tex- and 
style-files from xkeyval and enumitem (from CTAN) into it. 
(texhash afterward)

However, the powerdot.lyx template would run only if I take the foils for 
emptyslide, latex and verbatim material our.

What is the best way of finding out what is missing? 

Thanks,

Wolfgang
