I have been having a hard time finding all the packages that the installer is requiring. If someone has a sources.list file that works and connects fine, could they share it with me. The default one seems to not be able to find some of the required packages. I was able to get around it once with the cpp-2.95 by installing it from another site, but I think there are different sets of packages out there, 1 for i386 hardware and 1 for the xbox.

Anyways I am now at the point where I am ready to install kdebase and kde, but some packages are missing, and I am caught in some kind of dependency hell. Package "A" requires package "B" and when I try to install package "B" it says it needs "A" What the hell is up with that. I know Linux is not that user friendly, but thats just retarded.

Thanks Slain. I was able to install kdebase fine, but now when I try to run apt-get install kde, it list a bunch of dependencies that are missing. Is there an easy way to fix this or do I have to go through and install each one seperately?

Also I have rebooted. When it comes back up it says KDE 3.0. Do I still need to update using apt-get install kde ?
What is the difference ? Is it just a nicer interface, because this one is not too bad.

I tried to install the first dependency on the list kdelibs3, by typing apt-get install kdelibs3. It gets part way through then gives me the following error.

error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs3_4%3a2.2.2-13.woody.5_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/apps/knotify/eventsrc', which is also in package kdelibs-data
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs3_4%3a2.2.2-13.woody.5_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any thoughts

Well I am officially frustrated. I tried installing some of the dependencies, and when I install one the list goes down to like half. Then I install another, and the list goes back up to like 20 or so. What gives? There has to be a command to install the package and automatically install all the dependencies that go with it.

Anybody ?

Well that explains a few things.
I've been going insane trying to install kde after kdebase.
The tutorial that I read said to install kdebase, then later on there was a post thar said to install kde.
Anyways, thanks for clearing that up.
