KDE4 RC2 install removes KDE3?

[felipecn]

I'm trying to install KDE4 RC2, using the instructions on the Kubuntu page, but when i use apt-get to install the kde4 packages (kdebase-workspace, kdebase-kde4 and kdebase-runtime), it says that i must remove kdebase-bin-kde3.

It won't remove kde3? After that kde3 will run as before?

Re: KDE4 RC2 install removes KDE3?

it says that i must remove kdebase-bin-kde3.

Hmm #1 - i don't have "kdebase-bin-kde3". I have kdebase-bin and kdebase-bin-kde4 installed.

Hmm #2 - If you remove kdebase-bin:

:~$ sudo apt-get -s remove kdebase-bin

-s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act
No action; perform a simulation of events that would occur but do not actually change the system.

=> The following packages will be removed:
amarok amarok-xine autofsck digikam k3b kde-core kde-devel kde-devel-extras
kdebase kdebase-bin kdebase-dev kdebase-kio-plugins kdesktop kdevelop kdm
kdmtheme kmail kmailcvt kmplayer-konq-plugins konq-kim konq-plugins
konqueror konqueror-nsplugins kontact kscreensaver kubuntu-desktop
kubuntu-konqueror-shortcuts mountfile strigi-applet


Something is wrong.

Re: KDE4 RC2 install removes KDE3?

Simulating a kdebase-bin-kde3 removal outputs this:

"Os pacotes a seguir serão REMOVIDOS: ["The following packages will be REMOVED:"]
amarok amarok-xine digikam k3b kdebase-bin kdebase-bin-kde3 kdebase-kio-plugins kdesktop kdm kmplayer-konq-plugins konq-plugins konqueror konqueror-nsplugins
kscreensaver kubuntu-desktop kubuntu-konqueror-shortcuts strigi-applet"

Simulating with kdebase-bin outputs the same.

If I try to install the KDE4 packages with kdebase-bin-kde3, it complain about broken dependencies. But if I try to do the same with kdebase-bin, it act as I was installing only KDE4

Maybe this is the problem:

Package: kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4

Depends: kde-icons-oxygen, kdebase-runtime-bin, kdebase-runtime-data, kdelibs5 (>= 4:3.97.0-1ubuntu2~ppa3), libbz2-1.0, libc6 (>= 2.6-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2.1), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libqt4-core (>= 4.3.2), libqt4-gui (>= 4.3.2), libsm6, libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1), libx11-6, libxau6, libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxdmcp6, libxext6, libxfixes3 (>= 1:4.0.1), libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxtst6, zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1)
Conflicts: kdebase-bin-kde3

You could try to downgrade to the kdebase-bin.

kdebase-bin-kde3:

Replaces: kdebase-bin (<< 4:3.5.8-2ubuntu1)

I think that kdebase-bin-kde3 is backported from Hardy (8.04). It is in the ppa /1/ repos. I don't have kdebase-bin-kde3 and my KDE4rc2 is working fine (as test version).
