k9copy: Depends: kdelibs4c2 (>= 4:3.4.3) but it is not installable

[jkruer01]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to install k9copy on Kubuntu Dapper. http://repos.knio.it/

When I try to install it, I get the following error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
k9copy: Depends: kdelibs4c2 (>= 4:3.4.3) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

The 2 things I noticed are:
1)I have kdelibs4c2a installed but cannot find kdelibs4c2
2)I am running dapper but the repo only has breezy available.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Thanks!

PREAMBLE: DO YOU HAVE THE UBUNTU BREEZY REPOS IN YOUR /etc/apt/sources.list?
If you don't, put that in and try to install again. If you do, check one more time that you do, and try to install again. If it still doesn't work (it should if you have the breezy repos though...), then read on:

I don't know if there is an easier way, but make sure you have the deb-src line for breezy in your sources.list and do:

mkdir -r /tmp/build
sudo apt-get source k9copy

which downloads the packages source code. When it's done, extract go into the debian directory and edit the control file

tar -xvf *
cd k9copy*/debian
kdesu kwrite control

change kdelibs4c2 to kdelibs4c2a and save

Now, since I forgot to mention it earlier:

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall

and build like so:

./configure
make
make checkinstall

I don't know if make checkinstall needs a sudo in front, but if you get permission errors, just append a sudo in front.


I'm not too sure if it's possible to edit the deb by opening it with an archive manager and editting the control that way, but if it is, try that first.

ok, instead of using the sources from http://repos.knio.it/ I used the sources from Ubuntuguide and it worked great!

Thanks!
