It would be good to have such info on a URL that is easy for people new to Debian to find - maybe kde.debian.org. Perhaps, even, that link could be put at the bottom of the left menu bar on http://www.debian.org under a heading "Family", similar to what is done at www.kde.org.

Erroneous out of space msg & fs corruption on W>S then KDE install
During a KDE install I get an err msg saying out of disk space. There was plenty of space on the disk, and I seem to recall seeing a similar msg on -user, -kde or -devel in about the past day. So I just wanted to post this in case others start to see a problem like this. I have a 3 week old woody system with KDE. I decided to upgrade it to Sid so I could get the "kde" metapackage, because woody only had the "kdebase" package. As root I did: apt-get update apt-get upgrade which went fine. I changed /etc/apt/sources.list to point to sid apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade At some point here I got: Preparing to replace kdelibs3 4:2.2.2-5 (using .../kdelibs3_4%3a2.2.2-11_i386.deb) ...

The 52.8MB used isn't the total actually required to complete the operation but I am not completely familiar with how dpkg installs packages. At a minimum you need the space for all the packages (the 53 debs) it downloads plus the space listed to install (52.8MB). I am not sure if you need double the space that the packages take unpacked or if dpkg just overwrites on install. I think that 280MB should have been enough free space though. 8) Chris

libmysqlclient support in kdebase
As of samba 2.2.2-11 libmysqlclient is available in Debian, will it be supported in kdebase in the next upload? (for de kio-smb ioslave) Alex
installing kde
Hello, Is there a task package to get the bulk of KDE installed on woody? I'm an old enlightenment user and thought I'd give KDE a look. I couldn't find a task package so installed kdebase, but there are no kde apps that get installed. Do I need to install each one individually? Is there an easier way? Thanks, Rob

See various mailing list threads about this very subject, in the last week or so. And yes, in sid, there is a "kde" metapackage that will get all the packages you could want :-) HTH and HAND. - -- D.A.Bishop -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8WXbYEHLN/FXAbC0RAnDjAKDbH/QY9OZxun8n9EyXLvzjXJyyxwCg4ow/ R/GD5E55RtCcWPJeSA8Q/3E= =y4zk -END PGP SIGNATURE-
