That worked really well, though I had to add the metapackages to the install line by hand as aptitude wanted to remove them. It might have sufficed to add just kde, I didn't think to try it. Also aptitude wouldn't automatically include kscreensaver-xsavers, so the final command line looked like this: aptitude install -t unstable $( grep-status -ns package -Fdepends -e "kdelibs4|libarts1" \ --and -Fstatus 'ok installed') kde kde-amusements kde-core \ kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics \ kdenetwork kdetoys kdeutils kdewebdev kscreensaver-xsavers The installation went smoothly though, I'll check out the third party KDE apps I use with it over the next few days. Thank you very much for the help. Nick
