[LUG] Installing KDE3 on Debian



I'm trying to upgrade KDE 2.2 on my 'testing' Debian laptop to KDE3.

I put the following in my sources.list, as seemed to be suggested by the KDE 
download page:

"deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.3/Debian stable main"

But apt then says:
"Ign http://download.kde.org testing/main Release
 Err http://download.kde.org stable/main Packages  404 Not Found
 W: Couldn't stat source package list http://download.kde.org stable/main 
Packages 
(/var/lib/apt/lists/download.kde.org_stable_3.1.3_Debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages) 
- stat (2 No such file or directory)"

I tried replacing "stable" with "testing" but to no avail.  I've also tried 
using various unofficial-looking download sources but with similar problems.

I'm surprised KDE3 hasn't made it into the 'testing' version yet, as it's been 
in Mandrake for several releases now. I'm also suprised I can't just "apt-get 
install kde3".  I'm a bit disappointed because I had access to a broadband 
connection yesterday and it'll take ages to download over a modem :-(

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Jon
