Dependecy Problems with KDE 4.2.1 (experimental) under Intrepid Ibex (8.10)

[c1u66y]

Hello togehter,

just having dependency problems with Intrepid. After a new installation of Kubuntu 8.10, i upgraded the whole distribution to the newest version. After that i have added the ppa-experimental sources to upgrade to KDE 4.2.1.

I got the following Error:

Re: Dependecy Problems with KDE 4.2.1 (experimental) under Intrepid Ibex (8.10)

have you enabled the backports repository (unsupported updates in Adept)?

I had no problems updating my intrepid box (just did so this morning actually), but I had already been using 4.2.0 from backports, and I did not see any dependency issues

Thanks a lot!!!

I have done the following:

• sources.list: uncommented ppa-experimental url
• sources.list: added backports
• aptitude: updated everything to KDE 4.2.0
• aptitude: installed everything what i have removed before :-) (see my last post)
• sources.list: "readded" ppa-experimental
• aptitude: updated dist to KDE 4.2.1

I hope everything works after a Restart .

But: Is there anyway to add this hints to http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2 ?

I think that iam not alone with this issue or did i read something over?

A big Thanks.

Regards,
Jens

Re: Dependecy Problems with KDE 4.2.1 (experimental) under Intrepid Ibex (8.10)

well that page is solely for adding 4.2.0 as that version has had some testing (via the kubuntu-experimental ppa btw) before it was moved to backports. I imagine 4.2.1, or perhaps more likely 4.2.2 might make it to backports eventually. The ppa is totally unsupported and is for finding these sorts of problems. But it doesn't necessarily mean they will get fixed in the ppa in a timely manner, though
