Well, I was able to run synaptic and found the package that is causing all this trouble : kdelibs-data I have version 4:3.4.2-1 installed and kdelibs is at 4:3.3.2-7 I want to revert back to the older version. How do I do it and where can I find it? I tried http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages but I can't find the version I want.
