That is a good start, now, is there a way to use one of these tools too allow
a semi-automated upgrade of KDE?
I.E. get a list of packages that depend on kdelibs3 and pass that to apt-get
or dpkg in some way?
The dpkg-awk gives me a great list of packages, many of which are sadly out
of date now. Unfortunately, the kde meta-package can not be used for
updating, because this would require updating the meta-package every time
anything changed in kde.
Thanks, until then, I guess I'll just try upgrading bit by bit until I get it
right.
Cheers,
John Gay
