I am running Debian testing. Their KDE is very old. I'mtrying to give Debian 
a newer apt sources.list entry so that I may run newer versions of KDE. I 
have tried the following:

deb http://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian stable main
#deb http://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/kde/stable/koffice-1.2.1/Debian ./
#deb http://kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.1/Debian stable main

but the second two don't work, and even when the first one works, apt reports 
that it's going to remove most of my KDE apps (dependant on older KDE?), 
rather than update them. I presume this means that those apps (kscd, kedit, 
kate, ksirc, kword, the rest of koffice and on and on...) are not in that 
path, compiled for 3.1. I'm surprised that kde.org would offer it this way. 
Am I missing something? Would someone please fill in the blanks for me? I am 
very anxcious to try out KDE 3.1, and keep my apps!

Thanks much for your time!
