Ahh, much better. Now I get this: The following packages will be DOWNGRADED libc6 libc6-dev locales 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 downgraded, 0 to remove and 18 not upgraded. Also, if I did get this to work, what's the dpkg command that tells it *not* to upgrade libc6, that I want to keep this existing version ?? 'echo libc6 hold | dpkg --set-selections' Will do in a minute. Thank you very much ! Regards Hall

A little bit suprising for me is the fact that Konqueror (2.2.1-3) seems to work normal when I start it in/from KDE, but I can`t figure out why. Christian Leber
