Bug#549678: kaddressbook is not installable on sid due to missing libgnokii4 dependency
Package: kaddressbook
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The kaddressbook package is currently not installable with Debian sid. When I attempt to do so, I get the
following error message:
zitpcx6184:~# apt-get install kaddressbook
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kaddressbook: Depends: libgnokii4 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
When I attempt to satisfy the libgnokii4 dependency, I see the following:
zitpcx6184:~# apt-get install libgnokii4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libgnokii4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libgnokii4 has no installation candidate
The Debian page for this package[1] suggests that libgnokii4 is only available for MIPS platform.
[1] http://packages.debian.org/sid/libgnokii4
It seems that libgnokii5 is available for many platforms[2], so one possible resolution of this issue would be to
link against libgnokii5 rather than libgnokii4.

Cheers,
Paul.
