K3B upgrade problem

[xphreak]

I cannot upgrade to a new version of K3B
My current version is 0.12.14, and I have added to the repository list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-backports main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-backports universe multiverse

and I still cannot upgrade to the new version (Is there a new version for kubuntu at all ?)
What am I doing wrong ?

Re: K3B upgrade problem

0.12.14 seems to be the latest version currently available for dapper...so you're not doing anything wrong

The latest version is 0.12.17 just installed it yesterday.
here are all the steps needed. You may have already done some of these.

Install files essential for compiling software:
“sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf kernel-package gcc libncurses5-dev libqt3-mt-dev fakeroot libc6-dev binutils bin86 modutils gawk shellutils grep gcc-3.4 module-assistant debhelper libsdl-mixer1.2 libsmpeg0 libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-net1.2 libsdl1.2debian-all libaa1-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libslang2-dev libsmpeg-dev python-glade2 libsqlite0-dev libsqlite3-dev nasm zlib1g-dev libpng-dev subversion”
* Note: This step is a necessity if you do not do it most of the other steps will not work!
* Note Use the command “apt-get install <package_name>” to install these files. To install multipal files at once just leave a space between package names.
* Note: To make life easer you can cut and past all the package names in each category and install them all at once.

Install files essential to compiling multimidia (Lame, FFmpeg, K3b):[/b]
sudo apt-get install libmusicbrainz4-dev libtunepimp3-dev libresmgr-dev libtag1-dev libflac++-dev libmpcdec-dev libakode-dev libhal-dev libhal-storage-dev libqhull-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libdbus-qt-1-dev libavformat-dev libpostproc-dev libxv-dev liboggflac++-dev flac

B. cd ffmpeg
C. ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-mp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-vorbis -- enable-vorbis --enable-libgsm --enable-shared

This worked for my roommate yesterday and myself.

Hope it works for you.

What I meant is that 0.12.14 is the latest version that is currently available in the repositories. It looks like the newer version should be backported in a while.

Generally it's better to wait for the newer version to become available from the repositories rather than compiling the newest source yourself, unless there is a *very* good reason why you need the latest version and can't wait until the package makes it to the repos. :P

Re: K3B upgrade problem

That's what I have thought as well
I have just seen some confusing news on some of the forums that the new K3B is already available on the backport servers but it seams it was a bad information

Thank you all for the help

Re: K3B upgrade problem

Version 0.12.17-1ubuntu3 is here:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/k3b/

I don't understand why it doesen't show up in Adept/Synaptic.
If you want you can still download the .deb and install it by dpkg.

The 0.12.17 versions are edgy packages (the different release versions share the same package 'pool')
