Force installing is almost never needed (force overwriting,
occasionally). You really need to look at what it's asking for.

Well, the first thing you needed (as it suggested) was an
apt-get -f install - something needed the XFree86 v4 client libraries.

"apt-get install task-kde" should have done the trick, but there seem
to be important missing files on ftp.uwa.edu.au - maybe it's in the
middle of an update, but it's odd for this time of day... I got those
off IT.

Now installed, mostly working. Viewing HTML isn't working - "cannot
create view for text/html".

After much fighting with the helix packages, I've also put XFree86 v4
on and dist-upgraded, but I had to go to woody versions of a lot of
packages. Maybe a newer helix snapshot would be a good idea...
