KDE Won't Upgrade To 4.9

[dequire]

Ok title says it all. I have of course enabled the backports PPA, but the upgrade does not show up no matter what. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the Beta PPA takes priority? As of right now, still on Beta 2 (4.8.90). Ideas? I can post my sources.list as well if that would help.

What's the output of

apt-cache policy kde-runtime

Here is it, Steve. It's not even seeing the backports PPA apparently, even though it's definitely installed.

apt-cache policy kde-runtime
kde-runtime:

Hm... alrighty, next:

ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d

I fixed it by removing every PPA added since install and added the backports PPA again. Upgrade went OK. Now adding the PPA's back again for Telepathy, etc. I figured this would be easier and faster, though I'd still like to know why that particular PPA was ignored. I'll keep an eye on it from here. Cheers!

Okie... that is strange indeed.
