Dependency troubles due to kdesvn on xenial

[reggler]

Hi,

Okay, here's the story: I'm on xenial and need kdesvn which is not part of the repos... (I've been trying out other alternative svn GUIs but didn't find nothing I liked).
Since that system is behind a firewall and access to PPAs is blocked, I compiled kdesvn on a different system (xenial too) where access to PPAs is fine following this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/971056/failure-to-compile-kdesvn-from-source/971587?noredirect=1 which worked like a charm. I then copied the final binary to the initial system, tried to start the binary but got:

kdesvn: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Xml.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by kdesvn)
kdesvn: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Gui.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by kdesvn)
kdesvn: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by kdesvn)
kdesvn: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.6' not found (required by kdesvn)
kdesvn: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Widgets.so.5: version `Qt_5' not found (required by kdesvn)
so I'm obviously missing dependencies (as expected). I googled and found that libqt5xml5 contains the missing libQt5Xml.so.
But when I tried to apt install it, I got:

$ sudo apt install libqt5xml5
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libqt5xml5 is already the newest version (5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.5).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde-telepathy-minimal : Depends: kde-config-telepathy-accounts (>= 15.04.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
So...

$ sudo apt-get -f install

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

How can I get this resolved? I've tried update & upgrade but that doesn't get me any further either...

I'm guessing the package you need is libqt5xmlpatterns5-dev. Do you have that installed?

Those two packages conflict. You cannot have both installed at the same time.

Most package conflicts are caused by non-Ubuntu software, but seeming not this time Both version numbers look like they came from Ubuntu.

Seems like a real bug: Please file a bug report against *both* packages (on the same report).

Just wondering if entw's answer in https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2374270 will work.

No, I got this:


$ sudo dpkg -r account-plugin-google
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of account-plugin-google:
unity-scope-gdrive depends on account-plugin-google.

dpkg: error processing package account-plugin-google (--remove):
dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
account-plugin-google

so i tried to remove unity-scope-gdrive


$ sudo apt remove unity-scope-gdrive

but this let me remove stuff seemingly succesfully:


ron@jpax-build07:~$ sudo apt remove kde-telepathy-minimal kde-telepathy
