View Full Version : kde-guidance-0.6.1-0ubuntu0 upgrade failure

In the lastest batch of upgrades, package kde-guidance depends
on package pykIdeextensions, which fails to upgrade because
of a size mismatch. The result is that kde-guidance is reported
as installed but BROKEN, and pykdeextensions is not installed.

apt-get -f install does no good.

Is there a graceful way to recover from this situation?

E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

(the newest adept shows that the kde-guidance package
installation is BROKEN, but I haven't been able to figure out what
other utility reports this)

No new information, just more behavior. Any apt-get install after this
wants to deal with kde-guidance, even though it wasn't included in the command, so the whole install fails. When I invoke adept to install
some other package, it deals with kde-guidance anyway by removing it.

Now both kde-guidance and pykdeextensions are not installed.
I don't know whether this is a good thing or not.

Apparently it's NOT a good thing. Now my KDM login process keeps returning
to the login screen.

Did you do anything specific, or was it magic?
