[PowerPc] Install KDE 4

[Kerri]

Hi

I'm using an up-to-date ubuntu 8.04
I want to install and try the new KDE 4, but as you see I can't:
kerri@kerri-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install kde4
Lecture des listes de paquets... Fait
Construction de l'arbre des dépendances
Lecture des informations d'état... Fait
Certains paquets ne peuvent être installés. Ceci peut signifier
que vous avez demandé l'impossible, ou bien, si vous utilisez
la distribution unstable, que certains paquets n'ont pas encore
été créés ou ne sont pas sortis d'Incoming.

Puisque vous n'avez demandé qu'une seule opération, le paquet n'est
probablement pas installable et vous devriez envoyer un rapport de bogue.
L'information suivante devrait vous aider à résoudre la situation*:

Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites*:
kde4: Dépend: kde4-amusements (>= 3.3) mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: kde4-core (>= 3.3) mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: kdeadmin-kde4 (>= 4:4.0.0) mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: kdeartwork-kde4 (>= 4:4.0.0) mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: kdegraphics-kde4 (>= 4:4.0.0) mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: kdemultimedia-kde4 (>= 4:4.0.0) mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: kdenetwork-kde4 (>= 4:4.0.0) mais ne sera pas installé
Dépend: kdeutils-kde4 (>= 4:4.0.0) mais ne sera pas installé
E: Paquets défectueux

sorry for the french: I don't know how to put the terminal in english, and on french forum there's not a lot of ppc users :(

anyway, do you know how can I do to install KDE 4?

P.S: I've got the same problem if I try apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop

P.S2: please, excuse my bad english

Bonjour Kerri. Je pense que j'ai trouvé le problème, une répository vous manque. Voir ici (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-kde4/+bug/186609). Je pense qu'il faut seulement ajouter "hardy backports" s'ils existent maintenant.

---------------------------
Hi Kerri. I think I found the problem, a missing repository. See this url (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-kde4/+bug/186609). I think you will just have to add the hardy backports repositories if they exist right now for the powerpc.

Hi
in my apt-sources, I've got a backport repository wich seems to be valid: http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/hardy-backports/

does I need an other?

[Kerri]

I add this line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu/ hardy main multiverse restricted universe

and my problem is still here :(

[Kerri]

Up :)

I think you have the repositories you need and I'm not sure what the problem is. Try this. Using Synaptic Package Manager, do a search for KDE4 and check if the main packages show up (especially kde4-core, kdebase-kde4 and kdebase-bin-kde4). From what I can tell, these and everything else I would need to run KDE4 shows up on Synaptic. If this is true for you, try to install the three listed above and if that works, add others you need a few at a time. I would try this myself, but I don't want to populate my PowerBook HD with too many Linux things right now as I only have 10gb formatted for all of Linux.
