I have found a difference in sources.list in the working install and the
non working one.  In the working one the first line in sources.list is
deb http://Kubuntu.org/packages/Kde-354 dapper main
That line does not exist in the non working one.  Could that be the
problem ?

I can't test it because I created another problem.  In messing with the
network configuration in system settings I deleted my host name !*##@@.
My bash prompt now is ly at none and should be ly at ly-desktop.  I cant use
sudo to fix it or do anything as administrator.  Now I have to ask how
to fix that or reinstall.  Guess I better start another thread.

Thanks for taking the time to help.
