For the pass few days, unable to install KDE4 after following the
instructions on your website
(http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html) .

Had confirmed that the repository is correct :-)

1. Any idea what is missing in my installation or a bug?

2. I am installing KDE4 over KDE3. If KDE4 cannot be installed KDE3
(which I think should be able to), what is the simplest failproof
command to remove all of KDE3?


Thanks in advance for the info.
Mich
