Found this one, apparantly on Sid rather than experimental:
kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4
Attempt to install brings in a slew of other stuff (which may not actually be
available since this was the only thing found in a search for "KDE4" on Sid.
I am NOT using udev. Too many problems reported (though live CDs using it work
just fine on my system so maybe it is time ....). The installation of that
runtime seems to demand udev. So ... does KDE4 (or even KDE3.5.8--I have a
"konstruct" KDE3.5.6 on my system which works fine without udev!) really
require udev? I think not. So could this dependency be removed?
(Udev dependencies seem to come about when a package wants to write udev
rules--alternatives are to simply flag the non-existant folder or create it
as there is nothing wrong with having the rules around even if I do not use
them--I have manually created these folders a few times already when the
error was flagged!)
