debian dependecy hell

[Peter L. Peres]

Ok, dpkg hosed the installation. It has nothing to do with my packages, 
which are now installed, and I can almost compile. dpkg has cleverly 
removed most kde components, including konqueror. I wish I could 
understand what caused it to remove all those packages ?!!!

In general apt-get does not understand packages installed with dpkg -i 
(why not ?).

I am giving up on this distro for now.

tahnks to all,
Peter
