Then with kde there is something if possible more baffling. Synaptic declines to get kde on the grounds that it is missing kwebdev. It cannot find kwebdev if you search for it using synaptic. I googled kwebdev and it seems to be part of quanta. So I tried to install quanta, and did not seem to get quanta, but got a couple of libraries, but in any case, still no luck with kde.
My normal install path for kde is like this:
# apt-cache search "kde.*meta" [ examine results # apt-get install kdebase kdeadmin kdegraphics kdeaddons kdenetwork kdepim kdeutils kdemultimedia kdeartwork kdm
I don't usually use the 'kde' top level meta package. If you avoid kdesdk then you may not encounter the dependency problem with kwebdev. (Oh, there seems to be a package called 'kdewebdev' in unstable....)
