Note that I cannot re-install Kleopatra in Muon. If I try uninstall it wants to remove the whole pim suite!
How can I get this update through??

**oshunluvr** · Jul 18, 2023, 06:38 AM

Muon is unmaintained and has been since 2015 or so. Highly inadvisable to use software that old, especially a package manager. Use discover or the command line of some other up-to-date package manager instead.

Based on the last part of your output, it seems likely you have a plethora of incompletely iinstalled packages.

I suggest this in konsole:

sudo dpkg --configure -a and report whats happens. Then try;

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Ahh, it looks like KDE, or rather the KDE PIM folks, decided to rename library/source names for some reason. KDE devs are prone to do this for some reason.
The Kleopatra code prpbably moved to being under KDE PIM (Kontact) umbrella.
It looks like this change didn't get adjusted in this PPA package, out of the bazillion or so we have.

BUT it is easy to fix. You can force the package to install, and overwrite the existing file that is/was provided by a different package.
The error gives you the information you need.

Code:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libkpim5libkleo-data_4%3a23.04.3-0ubuntu1~ubuntu23.04~ppa1_all.deb

Then, to complete the previous set of updates:

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt -f install

The new package libkpim5libkleo-data should technically be replacing libkf5libkleo-data, but isn't, at least not yet.
I have no idea if having these two installed together will cause chaos or havoc, but I suspect not. One could try uninstalling the existing libkf5libkleo-data package, depending on your tolerance levels

This bug seems to be coming directly from Mantic 23.10 packages, since that is what the Backports PPA provides for Lunar, so hopefully someone reports this bug there

Thanks claydoh for that reply!

I put in a bug report to bugs KDE and Laurent Montel said "it's not a bug against kleopatra but it needs to be report to Kubuntu I think.
Regards"

Andre Heinecke added, "@Laurent I like this bug here in a way because it shows how unilateral decisions like just renaming all our libs for no unavoidable reason causes headaches and tons of work for other people."

---so that would suggest Kubuntu packaging and not KDE PIM folks, no? Where to report to backports, do you know?

I shall try your fix tomorrow I think. It is getting late here, so bed is in order. My weary head would not cope with any possible complications if things did not go right.

Thanks!

Probably against the Mantic package on Launchpad, since this is a PPA package, not in the regular repos. Not sure if this is even happening there, since it is in a very pre-release state. Maybe a polite Ping to acheron , who visits here on occasion.

This appears to be a simple version typo in the packaging changes for Gear 23.04

https://git.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-p...fefcae09e3cea0

i.e. the Replaces: version in that change should have been (<< 23.04.1~) instead of (<< 21.04.1)

Should now be fixed
