KDE 2.2 gave me a fairly hefty dependency list when I tested the install so
I passed - not wanting to --force or --nodeps and I was hoping that this
might get covered in rawhide - they still have the beta of 2.2 there.

I have all the 2.2 files that I downloaded from ftp.kde.org but I am still
gunshy.
