Since I've switched to Kubuntu...
by Martin on Wednesday 01/Feb/2006, @00:06

...from SuSE I never really figured out how is the best way to simply update only KDE. They say on Kubuntus download page to add the sources to
sources.list. But how do I go from there? If I click on Upgrade all in
Adept, everything is updated, not only KDE. And I dont want to select
each and every package and select update.

you could try updating kubuntu-desktop or another kde metapackage that depends on everything KDE has to offer. Maybe you need to do it from the command line.

Hi,

simply add the repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

It will install your newly added KDE. If you want only KDE and NOTHING else, you could comment the rest of the sources out and then enter above commands, I guess, but why would you do that?

At least in Debian, there is (IIRC) a kde meta package.

You need to enable the 'universe' repository in /etc/apt/sources.list, then the package tree won't break and KDE will upgrade.
