Yes, they are indeed fixed! Thanks a lot! I came across a few more issues though. When I install kubuntu-desktop-kde3 it also brings in some KDE4 packages. I was able to figure out some causes and a few other things: The control file of kde-style-qtcurve-kde3 I think should have a line: Provides: kde-style-qtcurve Right now it will trigger the install of gtk2-engines-qtcurve which depends on kde-style-qtcurve which is the KDE4 package. I think that many things may work better if such lines (provides with the package name without -kde3 appended) would be added to all packages. I also had a problem before where AcetoneISO was looking for konqueror and did not like my konqueror-kde3 although it works fine with it. When packages would need the KDE4 versions, they'll specify a specific minimum version anyhow, so I think adding such a line would not break anything. Another small issue is kdebase-kde3 recommending kdm instead of kdm-kde3. Changing this seems to prevent kdm from getting installed. foomatic-db-hpijs is recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3 but has been replaced by foomatic-db. apport-qt and openoffice.org-kde are recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3 but they both depend on KDE4 libraries. Similarly hplip-gui is recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3 but is uses libqt4. Some of the recommended packages aren't available for me: kdebluetooth-kde3, kubuntu-docs-kde3, strigi-applet, system-config-printer-kde-kde3 I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information. I can try to dig some more then :) Julius kb9vqf@... wrote: > This bug, and the kdm PAM file bug, should now be fixed.
