Well,

	So far kde4 will not even install. After starting the install last night and 
going to bed. I woke to thousands of lines of:

/usr/share/doc/kde/html/en/ksnapshot/window.png exists in both 'kdegraphics-
ksnapshot' and 'kdegraphics'                                    
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/ksnapshot.png exists in both 'kdegraphics-
ksnapshot' and 'kdegraphics'                                  
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/ksnapshot.png exists in both 'kdegraphics-
ksnapshot' and 'kdegraphics'                                  
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/ksnapshot.png exists in both 'kdegraphics-
ksnapshot' and 'kdegraphics'                                  
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/ksnapshot.png exists in both 'kdegraphics-
ksnapshot' and 'kdegraphics'                                  
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/ksnapshot.svgz exists in both 
'kdegraphics-ksnapshot' and 'kdegraphics'                              
/usr/bin/okular exists in both 'kdegraphics-okular' and 'kdegraphics'                                                                       
/usr/include/okular/core/action.h exists in both 'kdegraphics-okular' and 
'kdegraphics'                                                     
/usr/include/okular/core/annotations.h exists in both 'kdegraphics-okular' and 
'kdegraphics'                                                
/usr/include/okular/core/area.h exists in both 'kdegraphics-okular' and 
'kdegraphics'                                                       

	Evidently kde4 saw and conflict with the kde3 packages and didn't install 
anything. The last line of the output was:

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

	Talk about a bummer.... What does the brain-trust suggest?
