I have followed your advise, and have found that: # apt-get install kdelibs4 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdelibs4: Depends: libopenexr2 (>= 1.2.2) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdelibs-bin (= 4:3.3.2-6.4) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.3.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages And: # apt-get install kdelibs-bin Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done kdelibs-bin is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded. But: # dpkg-query -l kdelibs-data Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii kdelibs-data 3.5.1-2 core shared data for all KDE applications I don't know if that is the only problem. /etc/apt/sources.list: # the main Debian packages. deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib # Uncomment the deb-src line if you want 'apt-get source' # to work with most packages. # deb-src http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/debian/ sarge main contrib # the non-US Debian packages. deb http://mirror.peer1.net/debian-non-US/ sarge/non-US main contrib # Uncomment the deb-src line if you want 'apt-get source' # to work with most non-US packages # deb-src http://mirror.peer1.net/debian-non-US/ sarge/non-US main contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free The file /etc/apt/preferences does not exist. And: # dpkg --get-selections | grep ^kde kdeartwork-misc install kdeartwork-theme-icon install kdebase-data install kdeedu-data install kdegames-card-data install kdelibs-bin install kdelibs-data install kdelibs4 deinstall kdelibs4c2a install kdewallpapers install Thanks very much.
