    I get the following error when I try to upgrade to kde 3.5.2. seems to me that some of the packages lacks

    Code:
    sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kdeartwork: Depends: kscreensaver-xsavers (>= 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu2) but 4:3.5.1-0ubuntu1 is installed
 kdelibs: Depends: kdelibs-data (>= 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu0) but 4:3.5.1-0ubuntu11 is installed
 kdelibs4c2a: Depends: kdelibs-data (> 4:3.5.2) but 4:3.5.1-0ubuntu11 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

    have you run sudo apt-get update before running apt-get upgrade?

        Hi,

        It seems to be because of conflict with an existing file which is also in new package... Why are you not using apt-get dist-upgrade ? Or dpkg-install -f /var/cache/apt/archives/kscreensaver-xsavers_4%3a3.5.2-0ubuntu2_i386.deb

        Hope it helped

          I've tried the dist-upgrade, although Ithought it was only ment to be used on major upgrades. eg breezy to dapper. Ayways here is what it gave me:

          sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade

          and the dpkg don't have an force option so it went:

          Ialso tried to remove the conflicting packages, in the only result that it wanted to install it again :P

            Re: Error when upgrading to kde-3.5.2

            I get similar messages when using the GUI version of adept. What is more, once the install has'broken' I cannot get back in because it says the apt database is locked by another program. I then only get in as read only. I have had this problem before and got round it by killing apt processes but this time there do not apear to be any apt processes running. I have got back in by doing "aptitude --configure -a" but there is plainly an improvement required for adept as well as a necessary fix to the dependencies as packaged to date for kde 3.5.2. I am also getting a warning about a mime octet stream not existing when I go into adept. This predated the atempt to upgrade to kde 3.5.2.

              You can use :
              dpkg -install --force-all <package name>
              to force overwriting of existing files, it should work for this trouble...

              Hope it helped.

                  Re: Error when upgrading to kde-3.5.2

                  The problems installing KDE 3.5.2 are due to a known bug in the Kubuntu package. It has been reported, and will be fixed when Jonathan Riddell (or whoever) gets to it. I can vouch that it installs in Debian Sid, so it shouldn't be that difficult to repair in Kubuntu, he said crossing fingers and toes.
