kdebase-dev, Kubuntu and SuperKaramba

[deep_dive]

Hi all,

I tried to install superkaramba but I can not get over
the lack of kdebase-dev on Dapper.

deep_dive@hydrophobic:~$ sudo apt-get install kdebase-dev

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 to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kdebase-dev: Depends: kdelibs4-dev (>= 4:3.5-rc1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Could someone shed a light here ?

THx,

D.

Just a quick question before digging deeper, why do you need to install kdebase-dev package? Superkaramba package (available from universe) doesn't need it.

Are you trying to compile it yourself?

Hi Kubicle,

Well, it turns out that I have Dapper running very well
at work. This past week someone suggested Superkaramba
and I checked their website. I did not find binaries
there but only the source code.

I will check which version Universe has.

Thanks,

D.

Re: kdebase-dev, Kubuntu and SuperKaramba

Hi, I tried to install the kdebase-dev and did not have any issues, so I think that you either are lacking some of the repositories or have other problems.(SIC!)

Did you try to install kdelibs4-dev seperatly?

Superkaramba is available through apt-get, I installed it without issues.
deb http://kubuntu.org dapper/main
If you still need kdebase-dev:
first try to fix your previous install:
apt-get -f install (without specifying any package)
if this fails try to completely remove kdebase-dev
sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --purge kdebase-dev
then try to reinstall using:
dpkg --force-auto-select kdebase-dev and:
dpkg --force-all kdebase-dev
