Re: Dependecy problems installing quanta deb

[Gordon Sadler <gbsadler1@ispchannel.com>]

It means kdelibs3 has some new dependencies, libmimelib1 I believe.
Apt will not upgrade packages that have new dependencies if you don't
have those dependents already installed.

To fix try this:
apt-get install kdelibs3-dev

That will get kdelibs3 and kdelibs3-dev and the new dependent.

Follow up with apt-get {dist-,dselect-}upgrade to finish getting any
other updated packages.

Good luck
