cdrdao is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
k3b: Depends: k3blibs (>= 0.11.17) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.2.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdebase-bin but it is not going to be installed
kcontrol: Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.2.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Have these packages just not been released in Hoary yet? Thats pretty crappy... I upgraded to Hoary hoping that support for my firewire devices had improved, they only are recognized and mountable 1 of every 10 tries. Anyway, now Im trying to install K3b for burning DVDs and CDs, and using this ubuntu help center article (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/howto/helpcenterhowto.2004-10-05.2946111988) as my base. Anyway, as you can see, there are unmet dependencies, which I find strange when running a dev build. Have these packages just not made it to the hoary directories yet? Something else Im overlooking? Ive been using Debian for a long time on server boxes, but Ubuntu is really my first attempt at replacing my working desktop from Windows. Burning CDs/DVDs and making my firewire devices work are the final frontiers in accomplishing a Windows-free work environment.

TIA

Could you post your /etc/apt/sources.list, I'm pretty sure you forgot to include something in it, as all that was needed for k3b was available on my hoary install.

Well, now we're getting somwhere. Guess I'd fuxored that file sometime when adding some sources. Crappy...

I havent made it to k3b yet, I figure Id better update/dist-upgrade with the new repository and then go for k3b. Thanks alot ralph_ubuntu.
