Re: Cannot install latest KDevelop?

[Norman Jordan <njordan@shaw.ca>]

A work around for now is to purge the packages, then reinstall them, but
answer no when asked if you want to generate the global documentation
index. Let me know if that doesn't work.

I will take a look at what could be causing this.

Did you have any kdevelop3 packages installed before this?

Thanks.
