I am also running Sarge with Ralf's stable KDE 3.1. I did the apt-get update, apt-get -u upgrade combo, and libpng3 was held back. My next step, though, was to do this: apt-get -s install libpng3 This indicated that the reason libpng3 was held back was that it depends on libpng12, which is a new package. I went ahead and did apt-get install libpng3 And got libpng3 and libpng12. Things seem to work fine still. I don't know about those packages getting removed. Maybe some KDE 3 stuff from sid made it to sarge? Josh
