This is a known bug in Adept. Unfortunately, there's little that can be done
about it currently, since the fix is only in Adept 3.0, which hasn't even
been released yet.

The workaround for this particular problem is to run apt-get upgrade from the
console.

As far as KDE is concerned, the version of KDE in etch is so outdated that
it's not feasible for them to accept bug reports against it. Any problems
will have to be dealt with by the Debian KDE maintainers.

Aptitude should not be used when apt is used. (Adept and Synaptics use apt)

Is there a particular reason you say this ? I use aptitude and apt-get
pretty well interchangeably - they differ slightly in operation and each
has particular strengths, but I've encountered no problems from mixed use.

Someone said to me that they are incompatible. But it can be a mistake
:-/.

Hi,

> use apt)

If I remember correctly (I ceased to use apt a long ago), aptitude
stores more information than apt, so if you mix the two tools, the
aptitude-specific information doesn't get updated. An important
difference between the two tools is this: Suppose that package A
depends on package B and that you install package A. Then,
package B is also automatically installed, whether you use apt or
aptitude. The difference arises when you uninstall package A.
Aptitude remembers that package B was automatically installed,
so that when you uninstall package A, package B is also
uninstalled. This magic doesn't work if you installed
package A with apt and uninstall it with aptitude, because
apt didn't store the information that package B was automatically
installed.
