You need these data files to run KDE applications. . This package is part of KDE, and a component of the KDE libraries module. See the 'kde' and 'kdelibs' packages for more information.

And here's the second command: The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured. They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure menu option in dselect for them to work: mythtv               A personal video recorder application (client and server) The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems configuring them the first time.  The configuration should be retried using dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect: mythtv-database      A personal video recorder application (database) Is that useful?

It looks to be partially processed so is being looked at every time dpkg is asked to do anything. 'dpkg -s kdelibs-data' ought to give more info on what dpkg is trying to do with it. 'dpkg -C' might also give some useful info. ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam <A HREF="mailto:rmcw@allmail.net">rmcw@allmail.net</A> <A HREF="http://www.ormiret.com">www.ormiret.com</A> If something goes without saying, let it. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
