3.4 in testing: dependency issues

Hi,

As I'm sure many of you know, KDE 3.4 has arrived in testing. Congratulations
and thanks to the Debian team!

My report:

With my package-set, the new kdeedu and kig packages had unsatisfied
dependencies which meant a full upgrade could not proceed in testing.

With those two packages un-selected for upgrade, the upgrade is able to
proceed, however, apt-get warns that:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
ardour-gtk atlantikdesigner basket hotplug k3b k3blibs kaddressbook-plugins
kaffeine kate-plugins kbear kcmlinuz kde kde-amusements kdeaddons
kdeaddons-kfile-plugins kdeedu kdelibs4 kdewebdev kfilereplace
kicker-applets kig kimagemapeditor klinkstatus kmplayer kommander
konq-plugins ksig kwin-baghira kxdocker kxdocker-data kxsldbg libarts1
libbio2jack0 libjack0.80.0-0 libjack0.80.0-dev libkcal2a libkdenetwork2
libkdepim1 libmimelib1a libmodplug0 libmusicbrainz4 libopenexr2 libqt-perl
libqt3c102-mt libtag1 libtunepimp2 libwv2-1 mplayer-386 noatun-plugins qgo
quanta rosegarden4 vimpart xmms-xmmplayer

Of particular concern for me are ardour, rosegarden4, and basket, which I use
extensively for work; and to a lesser extent k3b, kaffeine, kxdocker and
kwin-baghira, which I like!

I'm very keen to try KDE 3.4 in testing, but not without these programs. Is it
just a matter of waiting until the dependencies are sorted out out fully, or
is there a workaround?

IIRC, the rosegarden4 issue may relate to a dependency on libjack0.80.0-0
which is being replaced by libjack0.100.0-0. Is this correct?

Any info about the status or upgradeabilty of any the above programs would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Probably just wait. I went through this on Sid already, and it finally got
sorted out after a protracted mess.

I've got everything installed from packages now, I think, except ZynAddSubFX.
I expect this will all trickle into testing in due course, and hopefully
faster than it took for these issues to settle out of Sid.

And you know whom to thank for it -- out of sheer desperation from lacking
3.4.2 (and openoffice-kde) I have switched yesterday to sid, which is
always best way how to make testing updated :-)).
