What's the status of KDE in testing/etch?
I just installed a fresh debian system on my spankin' new Athlon 64 X2 3800.
Things have gone pretty well so far, but I guess I just hit everything at just
the right time as far as repository sanity goes.
I've tried the past couple of days to `apt-get install kde' with no joy. I
keep getting complaints like:
coffee (~)$ sudo apt-get install kde
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... 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.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde: Depends: kde-core but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kde-amusements but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdeaddons but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdeadmin but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdeartwork but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdegraphics but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdemultimedia but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdenetwork but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdepim but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdeutils but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdewebdev but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
So I'm assuimg this all has to do with the migration over to the main debian
FTP sites and that testing/etch will eventually catch up. Is this a correct
assumption?
If it is correct, can somebody give me a ballpark timeline when I can expect to
be able to install the etch version of KDE for this platform? I've tried
adding sarge to the repository and also had no luck.
Thanks in advance for any hints.
