Re: kopete problem

Hi,

In fact, you can find this answer in man pages : man apt-get
This is an extract of it :
dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary.

Re: kopete problem

What protocol is it, that you use with kopete?
I had trouble with connecting to the ICQ Network last week, too.

Re: kopete problem

i am using yahoo, msn and napster but all of them with same message.

i am using kopete 0.10.4 version
when i use sudo apt-get upgrade i cant see anywhere to upgrade kopete

i cant understand why i am not able to see kopete in upgrade list while i see others having this option.

Re: kopete problem

which version of kde are you using now ? Maybe it's just because you didn't add the line with kde-latest.
You should add the following line in your /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest breezy main
and if you will get an error about key when apt-get update, then do the following :
wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/k...iddell-key.gpg
sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg
