I had done this before and thought that maybe Sarge had changed since then
and made it impossible, but last night I kept at it and got it. Actually I
lost most of kde in the process, but the thing I wanted was quanta version
3. I think I can get the rest of kde back, because I have these installed:
kdelibs-bin_4%3a3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb
kdelibs-data_4%3a3.1.2-0woody1_all.deb
kdelibs4_4%3a3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb
libarts1_1.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb
libqt3-mt_3%3a3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb
quanta_1%3a3.1.2-0woody1_i386.deb
The trick is around libvorbis0, libarts1, and libqt3-mt. You have to remove
the newer version libarts1 which gets rid of kde entirely. Ouch. And you
also have to remove libvorbis0a. I think there is also another version of
libqt3-mt that has to go. Then I installed libvorbis0 from the Woody cd.
After that I used dpkg -i to install libarts1 and libqt3-mt from the above
debs. And then I did the same with the kdelibs and quanta debs above. Now I
have quanta3 and nothing else of kde. I'll download the rest of kde when I
get to a dsl line and then try installing them.
I would not recommend this to anyone. It was a royal pain, because I had to
install and uninstall things about 5 times running apt-get -f install to fix
things etc. I just really wanted to do it, because I had managed it on
another partition and wanted to duplicate it. It is very messy.
