Adept Isn't Installing Packaged

[Marsol0x]

Well, it does and it doesn't. The problem I'm having is that some packages are simply not installing and I get this error:

There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.

It seems to hate the idea of installing anything that might have to do with QT or X11, though that may just be purely coincidential.

It started when I used this command: export QTDIR=[whatever I put]
And I used that command in an effort to get KMUD working. Anyone run into this? Is it just Adept, or was I being dumb when I changed things?

Re: Adept Isn't Installing Packaged

I went through this last night and this morning, maybe we're both dumb.   Are you using Dapper or Edgy? I am using Dapper, and the problem arises due to the fact that Kubuntu ships with Ubuntu sources instead of Kubuntu sources. In short, KDE is not fully installed to a KDE desktop system.

This is sort of involved - likely because I don't know much about Linux. If you are using ***Dapper*** open a Konsole and type:

kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list

copy and paste the following at the bottom of the list:

deb [url]http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/[/url] dapper main
deb [url]http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-353/[/url] dapper main
##################bleeding edge???? from  [url]http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-355.php[/url]
deb [url]http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-355[/url] dapper main
deb [url]ftp://bolugftp.uni-bonn.de/pub/kde/stable/3.5.5/kubuntu[/url] dapper main
deb [url]http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.5.5/kubuntu[/url] dapper main
deb [url]http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/kde/stable/3.5.5/kubuntu[/url] dapper main

{I know some of these look like duplicates, but after many hours I just stuck in anything I could find}
Click save, and close kate.

Type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

 sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude dist-upgrade

I rebooted. There were a ton of updates, and they installed with no problem this time. I then opened Adept and installed anything related to KDE.

Hopefully someone that knows what to really do will come along - but just in case they don't....

Re: Adept Isn't Installing Packaged

Well, there are some sites that give me an error when I fetch updates and kdelibs-bin requests a removal, and changing it to install breaks a bunch of the list.

Should I be concerned?

Re: Adept Isn't Installing Packaged

I've tried above but the problem is that I could not install anything new till I re-install skype.
Here is my problem:

Your error means that it couldn't download the package. Possibly the server it was on was down. Try re-downloading it now.

Kubuntu uses the same repositories as ubuntu, so not haveing "Kubuntu Resources," has nothing to do with it.

True, KDE is not all included. Simply use adept to find the package KDE, and install it. This will install the rest of KDE.
