WRONG: deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody/ testing main non-free contrib RIGHT: deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody ./ This is why you got 404 errors when you tried to download the Packages files - they were not found becuase apt had been told to look in the wrong place. > I have installed qt3 and the develop package as well.

Try something like: apt-get remove --purge kdelibs* kdebase* kde* This should remove most of kde from your system. Also, if you have kde2.2.2 from Debian installed, doing: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep 2.2.2 should give you a list of packages which may include any other kde packages which remain. Have fun with GNOME.
