This week I wanted to upgrade to KDE2.1 using packages (not ports). On 3/13, using stand/sysinstall, I found kdelibs-2.1, kdesupport-2.1, etc and installed them. However, I could not find kdebase-2.1. I also could not find it on the ftp sites. On 3/14, I found kdebase-2.1 and installed it. However, the packages installed on 3/13 had a dependency on libmng-0.9.3, while the kdebase-2.1 package installed on 3/14 had a dependency on libmng-1.0.0. There was a similar discrepency in the version of libaudiofile required. When I rechecked this morning, 3/15, kdelibs-2.1 now depends on the newer libs. If the different versions of the kde packages depend on different versions of various libraries, why do they not carry different minor version numbers (e.g., kdelibs-2.1.1 ) so that you can install a consistent set?
