Hi, I don't know that there is a command called 'deb'. What are you expecting it to do?

Hi,

I was just trying to update the KDE version from 3.5.2 to 3.5.4 using the
command
"*deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-354 dapper mai" as mentioned in "
http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-354.php"

Regards,
Praveen

Ok, what you actually need to do is open up the file /etc/apt/sources.list and add that line you've been given, to the file.

try this:
'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'

then when gedit comes up paste the lines below into the bottom of the file and save it.

deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-354 dapper main
deb ftp://bolugftp.uni-bonn.de/pub/kde/stable/3.5.4/kubuntu dapper main
deb http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.5.4/kubuntu dapper main
deb http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/kde/stable/3.5.4/kubuntu dapper main

Then it's just a case of updating.

Can you help with this problem?
