I have a stable Debian 2.2r3 system with KDE 1.1.2
installed. When I attempted to use the packages from
kde.debian.net to upgrade to KDE 2.1.1, the upgrade failed.
The issue appears to be a dependency on libmng1, which does
not exist in potato. What's worse, the version of
libmng1 in woody depends on libc6 >= 2.2.2-2, so I
can't just build from source and install by hand.
I would need to upgrade the whole system...which I'm
resisting, since it's running perfectly now.
Here are the details:
/home/tim# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back
kdebase kdevelop korganizer
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
/home/tim# apt-get install kdebase

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:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdebase: Depends: kdelibs3 (>= 4:2.1.2-0) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: libmng1 (>= 1.0.0-0) but it is not installable
Depends: libqt2 (>= 2:2.3.0-final-0) or
libqt2-gl (>= 2:2.3.0-final-0) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: kdebase-libs (>= 4:2.1.1.0-0.potato3) but it is not
going to be installed
Depends: libkonq3 (>= 4:2.1.1.0-0.potato3) but it is not going to
be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
Any suggestions?
