Hi,

Attempted to install KDevelop3:

'apt-get -t unstable install kdevelop3'

The install failed with unmet dependencies, can't remember which ones, but the package needed some lib which was > that which was to be installed (from memory, the denomination was a slightly different format which might have confused things).

(My KDE install was shot after the with half the menus missing)

Anyway subsequent apt-get have failed and the advice from the system is to try 'apt-get -f install'

This I did, and was prompted that this would release 312Meg from my system (Y/N)

Typing yes released both barrells into an already shot system and rendered it unuseable!

I've reinstalled from Knoppix 3.3 but am anxious not to repeat the excercise.

I definately won't be installing kdevelop3, can you guys recommend a way for me not to fall into the same trap again. I mean, if apt-get does this on kdevelop3, will it behave in a similar way with another package.

is there any way to 'rollback' the install to the way it was?

Many thanks,

Dave Coventry
