Thanks for the suggestion, but the machine I have running is actually running 
Lenny and KDE3.5.10.  Oh - and I think taht I have run aptitude clean.

I won't have to wait long.  And the rest of the install has gone well.  I'd 
rather just be patient for a little longer.  KMail is a change.  (A switch 
from Icedove to KMail.)  It doesn't have to be now!!  Icedove is there, and I 
promised to restore it for him anyway so that he still has access to all the 
old emails he wants.  (I am reinstalling because his desktop went suddenly 
into terminal decline, and this is a new-to-him machine.)  I have Trinity, 
and that was the important bit.
