Bug#523551: closed by Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer <perezmeyer@gmail.com> (Just reinstall)

[jedd <jedd@progsoc.org>]

 Yes .. I wished that it worked that way too, but it doesn't.

 kdewebdev replaces quanta, but does not include quanta.

 Copying quanta and quanta-doc packages to my box and then
 running dpkg --install against them both (this requires a --force)
 leaves me with a functional quanta package installed, but any
 and every subsequent apt-get activity complains about the
 database being in an unsafe state, and apt-get -f install then
 promptly removes quanta.

 I put testing into my sources.list - and this did not resolve
 the problem - now when I try to install quanta using apt-get
 (rather than dpkg against local copies of the debs) I get this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  quanta: Depends: kfilereplace (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.2.2-1 is to be 
installed
          Depends: klinkstatus (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.2.2-1 is to be 
installed
          Depends: kommander (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.2.2-1 is to be 
installed
          Recommends: kxsldbg (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.2.2-1 is to be 
installed


 So .. as I said originally, quanta needs an update to not rely on
 those packages (3.5.9-x) and instead to cope with 4.x.y.  This
 is all that's required for it to be sociable again.

 To clarify - this problem is not resolved.

 cheers,
 Jedd.
