This doesn't seem normal, why would it want to remove kdeplasma-addons and how would do I get around that?

Thanks for any help,
Chris

What version of KDE are you using?

I did the 4.2rc1 upgrade last week, however, I have not tried to install kphotoalbum until now.

I also get the same thing when trying to install digiKam.

I'm strongly inclined to believe that it's the result of your using KDE 4.2rc1. When I simulate installing KphotoAlbum, no packages are identified for removal. I'm running KDE 4.1.4.

Yes I would like to confirm what caustin experienced is indeed true:

Re: apt-get install kphotoalbum wants to remove kdeplasma-addons ??

It is because of kipi-plugins

kipi-plugins depends on libkexiv2-3
kdeplasma-addons depends on libkexiv2-7

Installing libkexiv2-3 will remove libkexiv2-7 ... and anything that depends on it (which is only kdeplama-addons)
