what's up with today's upgrade

[mr_raider]

Anyone notice today's apt upgrade wants to remove some packages, like kubuntu-destop?

I haven't had he cojones to apply it.

I'll take a snap shot of my VirtualBox guest first and try this later tonight when I get back from work. I haven't upgraded for a while and it will take some time.

[snerk]

weirdness here too, i installed some updates, did a reboot, and now it says ive got 69 more upgradeable packages however in muon when i click 'full upgrade' the 'apply changes' button is greyed out while muon updater only shows 2 upgradeable

edit: hmmm, kmail, akregator etc are all gone now and uninstallable

[Guest]

Hi you all!

Same problem in Linux Mint 17 after the update. I can't get installed any KDE programs.

Quite strange, isn't it?

[Guest]

Here's the link to the Linux Mint forum, in case someone found a solution for this:

And a link to a post I made on askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/49123...other-packages

I'll be holding off on applying anything of this update even though `apt-get upgrade` (or aptitude safe-upgrade) should be fine. Looks like the repo is in the middle of going to KDE 4.13.2 .

Shame the upgrades to libraries can get published before the upgrades of the apps that depend on them and/or that library upgrades can push applications (i.e. the stuff users use...) off the system!!

[snerk]

seems to have been fixed now. updates done. also installed manually kubuntu-desktop to get all the things that got uninstalled previously

[rjvbb]

Indeed. Whew...

Seems I was right: the repository was in flux, probably in the process of publishing 4.13.2


`apt-get -s upgrade` and `apt-get -s dist-upgrade` now both say

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    Calculating upgrade... Done
    The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
      libgps21
    Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
    The following packages have been kept back:

Yup, the hundreds of updated packages have to propagate to all the umpteen buttloads of servers out there, so in this situation time is your friend, or for the impatient, trying different servers

[GreyGeek]

As Claydoh says!
The update didn't give me any problems.

+1 here.

Hmm I replied over there but don't see it

[pnunn]

Bloody hell... did the update this morning, now my email has gone west from contact. Everything else is there, but no email plugin an more. How do I get that back again??

[pnunn]

Ok, apt-get install kmail kaddressbook seems to have sorted out that issue.. Oh well...

[claydoh]

And I am almost positive I didn't forget to hit the "post reply" button. Heck I am positive I had posted over in the Mint forums in the past, but my post count is zero


Oh well
Mint KDE is Kubuntu, after all, so why bother spending time there?
