Now what have I done? Lost KDE panel (sort of)

[Stephen]

Here's the output:

root@toybox:~# dpkg -l | grep 3.2.1
rc  kaddressbook   3.2.1-1        KDE NG addressbook

Notice, the rc 's :

That means they have been removed but are still configured.

root@toybox:~# apt-get -sf install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

W: Couldn't stat source package list file: unstable/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/_etc_apt_sources.list_dists_unstable_non-free_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Getting there and learning all the way.

THANKS.

Now this means that you have to update your sources try dselect update to get both the apt and deselect databases in sync. And forget about that stupid -f install advice that apt gives you it is more trouble than it is worth you are better off tracking down the problem packages and installing them one at a time if necessary. If the deselect update will not complete can you post your /etc/apt/sources.list if it updates without problems then all you should have to do is use the command I suggested in my post above and install all the packages from the list in the post that you want if errors on the command post the output so we can see it but most of the time all you would have to do is keep adding the packages on the end of the command line and they will install eventually.
