Ok, Panu, thanks for that tip.
I did that, updated the list, and that worked fine, however when I chose to 
override the version of kde-base (from 3.1.4 to 3.1.95), Synaptic failed to 
download all the packages.

I guess I could wait a while and try again.

You didn't say whether you use Synaptic or not, I'm wondering if the default 
settings are sufficient for what I want to do?
