Hello everyone. I'm a relatively new Kubuntu user (lots of experience with other *nix operating systems, though) using Edgy, and I hope you can help me.
This morning I went ahead and installed the latest set of upgrades for KDE and adept. However, there are now three packages that are marked as broken. Two of them I don't care about at all and have been broken for a while, but the third, adept-common, apparently has unresolved dependencies. I downloaded and installed synaptic, based on recommendations in these forums, and it tells me, when I try to mark the package for upgrade:
apt-get tells me essentially the same thing when I run a simulated installation for adept-common.adept-common:
Depends: konsole (>=4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.3) but 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.2 is to be installed
Depends: python-kde3 (>=3.15.2+20060422-2ubuntu4.3) but 3.15.2+20060422-2ubuntu4 is to be installed
I checked the dependencies, and I apparently don't have the option to upgrade konsole or python-kde. I even disabled all universal and 3rd party repositories, refreshed the package list, and I still get the same dependency problem.
So, first, is this something I should even worry about? Will this break the adept updater (which I still use, though I do like synaptic better)? Will the number of broken packages continue to increase as I use Kubuntu?
Second, is there something wrong with my system that would prevent me from upgrading those packages, assuming that the dependencies listed for adapt-common are correct? Or could this be a problem with that particular package listing the wrong dependencies?
Thanks
Wayne
