kde-core 3.1.2 should work fine with kde 3.2 packages. I am not sure what the real problem is but: kde-core Version: 4:3.1.2 Depends: arts, fontconfig, kdebase, kdelibs Suggests: kde-i18n Notice it isn't really version dependent so only needs updates if a meta-package is added or changes names... That said there will be a new one since kdeaccessibility was added in 3.2 Chris
