I have a hard time believing that a package as important as kde being broken wouldn't generate a flood of bug reports. What am I doing wrong?
# apt-get install kde Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 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: kde: Depends: libkmid or libkmid-alsa but it is not going to be installed or libkmid-bin but it is not installable Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not going to be installed or kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable E: Sorry, broken packages #
