This looks OK. But going through the archives, I found this: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv > You are probably missing /etc/kde3/ui/ui_standards.rc.

Or just install same kdelibs-data again with --force-confmiss. No need to do a purge before: dpkg -i --force-confmiss /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data_.....deb You'll see some additional output like Configuration file `........', does not exist on system. Installing new config file as you request. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Anyway, I wanted to blame you for not using Google or so. But I couldn't find anything with it. Only using kmails-search... Perhaps the search-form on debian.org should include a check-box 'search in titles only'??
