KDE 3.3 everywhere now??

[Stealth870]

Everytime I try and install a KDE based program via apt-get, I always get errors that in depends on KDE 3.3 or sumthing, but I can't install KDE 3.3!!!

I put in some unstable sources into sources.list, I do "apt-get install kde" and I get...:

root@KNOPBOX:/home/Stealth# apt-get install kde

kde is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

Why it asking about 3.3? And why can't I get it?

Also, I'd like to know if there was another way to this. Maybe I can download all the debs (can someone list all the packages I need?) and the manually install them with Kpackage or something...

3 possible reasons:
- you dont have the kde 3.3 sources (eg unstable) in your /etc/apt/sources.list
- you have set apt to only install software from testing and stable (eg disallowing unstable packages to install). see other files in /etc/apt (i thought the file "preferences"?) (most likely this is the source of the problem)
- you have set kde to be on a certain version. unlikely...

Try this:

apt-get -s -t unstable install kde

If that works, then remove the "-s" and go ahead with the install.
