What I need to do is update KDE to 3.4 in order to solve a dependency of an internationalization package (KDE Lithuanian).

Can you update KDE without doing a dist-upgrade?

I'll look at your trivial remaster, looks interesting in any case. My chrooted remaster works fine, and other updates work okay. It has fewer packages, uses IceWM, and internationalization, plus some other things. KDE 3.4 is the problem.

Many Thanks,
