What unofficial apt source are you using for KDE? KDE 3 hasn't 
propagated to testing yet. As a result, I don't think the debian bug 
listings will be too helpful for you.

Also, what kind of "update die"ing occurred? Try running apt-get dist-
upgrade or apt-get upgrade or whatever it was that you did to try to 
update 108 Megs of KDE libraries, and send us the errors. (Yes, I saw 
that you don't particularly want to tell us this)

Try running `apt-get -f install` and see whether it can fix things.
