As I understand it, it isn't a matter of priorities, but that it is not possible to get a fixed kdelibs4 3.3.2 packages into sid. Since a number of the libraries that kdelibs depends on have made the gcc 4.0 transition already, kdelibs would be building against a mix of packages compiled with gcc 4.0 and others with 3.3. > You can of course upgrade, but you'll need to manually install the old > kdelibs-packages (-6.1). They'll be upgraded next time too, AFAIK. I did: # echo "kdelibs4 hold" | dpkg --set-selections # echo "kdelibs-data hold" | dpkg --set-selections Then once the transition is over, I will echo "kdelibs4 install" | dpkg --set-selections, and the same for kdelibs-data. That way I don't need to worry about forgetting and upgrading them. > Annoying. But then again, that's ``unstable'' for you. Actually, I haven't said yes to apt-get -u upgrade for a few weeks now, with all the transitions that are going on. I've been picking and choosing individual packages. It is a pain, but I chose it, I guess. Josh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
