    I am a newbie to debian (former RH user.) I have a set of woody CDs. I
    installed a base system, upgrade to testing using the go-woody script.

    I then installed X with apt-get install x-window-system. I now have a
    working X install with twm.

    I now want to install kde 3.1.4 (it's present in knoppix). I added the
    line

    deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.4/Debian stable main

    to /etc/apt/sources.list and ran apt-get update. Unfortunately when I run
    apt-get install kde I get the following errors:

    ------------------------
    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:
      kde: Depends: kdelibs3 but it is not installable
           Depends: libarts but it is not installable or
                    libarts-alsa but it is not installable or
                    libarts-bin but it is not installable
           Depends: libkmid but it is not installable or
                    libkmid-alsa but it is not installable or
                    libkmid-bin but it is not installable
           Depends: kdebase but it is not going to be installed or
                    kdebase3 but it is not installable
           Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not installable or
                    kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable
           Depends: kdebase-libs but it is not installable or
                    kdebase3-libs but it is not installable
           Depends: kdebase-doc but it is not installable or
                    kdebase3-doc but it is not installable
           Depends: kab but it is not installable
           Depends: kpm but it is not installable
           Depends: kfract but it is not installable
    E: Broken packages
    --------------------------

    What am I doing wrong ? I really would like to start working with kde on
    my debian install.

    any pointers would be welcome.

    Sharukh.

    ps: speaking of knoppix, the line for kde in sources.list is commented
    out.
