A little story.

I wanted to download K3b with synaptic but discovered it would be a long 
download because I use a dialup modem.

So, I cut off the download.

Since that attempt, I made several other shorter downloads unrelated to K3b.

Then, one day, lo and hehold, there was K3b, installed and working.
