kde dev packages

[morikaweb]

every single kde-dev package says it will break installation.

So how do I install kde dev packages then?


I have kde-desktop 3.5.4 and other computer is 3.5.3


thanks all

Re: kde dev packages

Have you tried installing kdelibs4-dev? (you should get most of what you need with it)

If you're still having problems, could you post the output of:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kdelibs4-dev

Re: kde dev packages

Well since that is a kde dev package, it does not work. Here is the output you asked for:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdelibs4-dev: Depends: kdelibs4c2a (= 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18.1) but 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu 0.2 is to be installed
Depends: kdelibs-bin (= 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18.1) but 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu 0.2 is to be installed
Depends: libarts1-dev (>= 1.5-rc1) but it is not going to be ins talled
E: Broken packages

Re: kde dev packages

Strange. I tried to install kde-devel, and I didn't get any warnings.
You mentioned that one computer is using KDE 3.5.4 and the other is KDE 3.5.3? Which one can't install any -dev package? And this output is from which system?

It might be good if we focused first on one version, just to make it less confusing. Pick your choice on which system to fix first.

My guess is that this might have something to do with the repositories/sources.list.

Re: kde dev packages

Judging by the output it seems you're trying to install an old version of kdelibs4-dev (kde version 3.5.2 from the dapper-security repo)

Check your sources.list to see if the kubuntu.org repository is enabled (the line should be there since you've already installed kde 3.5.3...and 3.5.4 on the other computer)...the newer versions of kdelibs4-dev aren't available from the dapper main repos (which are frozen on 3.5.2)

Re: kde dev packages

... Ok I feel dumb. Turns out I'v been doing so much trying to learn how this all works I accidently screwed up my sources.list without noticing. I fixed it and kdelibs4-dev installes fine now.Thanks for everyones help, and I will check that my sources.list is working before I start posting next time .
