Re: Problems with KDE Packages after 3.1.0 => 3.1.1
Hi!
This error is - as far as I know - often caused by the fact, that, when
there is a new kde version, sometimes some libs get packaged into another
package than before. When this problem appeared, I've always done the
following:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
dpkg -i --force-all <package file>
for every package file which cannot be installed.
The package file names are sometimes quite complicated; you can either
complete the file names by pressing <tab> or do something like:
dpkg -i --force-all kdelibs*3.1.1*deb (in your case)
(You should also do an dpkg -i kdelibs*3.1.1*deb directly afterwards to
ensure that everything is installed correctly. dpkg shouldn't print out any
errors now.)
Then re-run apt-get and look if the errors are gone. If other packages cause
similar errors, do the same for these packages. At the end, everything
should be fine without re-installation.
Dselect should not cause the system to install the packages in a better way,
because the errors come from dpkg, and both apt and dselect only call dpkg
for installing packages, as far as I'm informed.
Regards,
Stephan
