Announcement

**acheron** · Nov 22, 2016, 02:13 PM

There should be new builds in dev-edition /stable to fix this now, or on the way as breaks/replaces for the moved file have been added in git.

By the way, /stable means that the packages are build from the KDE 'stable' git branches which are potential fixes to released versions (except frameworks that doesn't have those). This does not imply they are without error or the packaging of that code is 'stable' in itself.

yes I have been getting a similer situation ,,,,,,,,,for a week or so now Gwenview has been held back form "dist-upgrading"

I ran into something similar and the full-upgrade died, leaving the lock in place. I deleted the lock and ran
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get -f install
repeatedly until they did all they could.
I opened Muon and noticed several packages still in the upgrade tab. I installed them using Muon and then repeated the two commands above and things straightened out.

**oldgeek** · Nov 23, 2016, 09:44 AM

I can't seem to get past this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I've tried everything suggested, but nothing changes. I've got some 200+ files waiting to be correctly upgraded, but don't know how to get the right dependencies for the five files listed.

**GreyGeek** · Nov 23, 2016, 01:38 PM

Using muon or synaptic mark the older version for deletion and then click apply.
Then mark the newer file for installation and apply it. Rinse and repeat.

**oldgeek** · Nov 23, 2016, 02:05 PM

I used Synaptic. It identified the packages in question as broken. I fixed them, the legend at the bottom said the dependencies were met. However, could not upgrade, neither using Synaptic nor using the Konsole. Why won't it upgrade? According to Muon, the kdepim library has two versions--but I tried to force the correct the correct one but it wouldn't do it. I'm not sure I know how to delete properly using Muon--all I get the is the archive, not the individual versions. I must be doing something wrong.

**vinnywright** · Nov 23, 2016, 02:55 PM

today looks better for me ,,,,,,,,,I will do this one .

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

(post if errors) if no errors then do a

Code:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

**oldgeek** · Nov 23, 2016, 03:30 PM

I ran both; sudo apt-get update gave me a list with no problems. However, sudo apt-get -f install gave me the same error messages I've been getting since I first tried to upgrade everything yesterday.

**GreyGeek** · Nov 23, 2016, 07:34 PM

Usually the two options:
sudo apt -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
are run together as a pair, and repeated until things clear up, or the same error msg repeats with each one and no progress is made.

Just curious -- what does sudo apt-cache stats show?

And, after doing sudo apt-cache -g what does the two cleanup commands do?

**oldgeek** · Nov 24, 2016, 09:49 AM

The first two options keep returning the same error message as shown above; no progress is made. The command 'sudo apt-cache -g' gives me the following error message: E: Command line option 'g' [from -g] is not understood in combination with the other options. The command 'sudo apt-cache stats' gives me this:

I used Muon to upgrade everything, but got an error message for these three archives:

You could go nuclear

sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install kf5-messagelib-data libkf5messageviewer5 kdepim-addons

**oldgeek** · Nov 24, 2016, 11:21 AM

It worked! And a happy thanksgiving day to you, if you're American. If not, thanks anyway.
