    And thus we see that Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. said, :

    You might want to try using Debian Unstable/"sid" since it does contain
    kde 3.1.4 already. You will just need to modify the line that you have
    for stable and change it to unstable. In your case this will probably
    look like:

    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main

    After you do an 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade', you will end
    up with a Debian Sid system and then 'do an apt-get install kde'.

    Remember to look up:
    http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebianKDE

    That site has really good pointers on what to do to get KDE. It also
    lists how to get KDE if you want to use Stable itself instead of
    switching to sid.

    HTH,
