Re: Experimental KDE3 debs -- first impressions
Hi, I also have installed the kde3 and I'm really impressed. It is much faster then the first unofficial kde3 debs. The install went not so smooth, but after explaining the situation clearly to dpkg and friendly by using --force-depends and --force-overwrite I was able to get a running kde3. The only thing missing is noatun. I keeps crashing. Does anyone also have this problems? Crashlog : ...

The instructions located at http://calc.cx/kde.txt expressly state that you should NEVER use --force stating that if you do 'you are likely to permanentaly break your system requiring a full reinstall'. There is a good reason for this, if dpkg is telling you there is a conflict between packages you had better believe it!! If dpkg is reporting a conflict the 'safe' option is to purge the installed conflicting package and then reattempt installation. As pointed out elsewhere this maywell mean that you will also be forced to uninstall other related packages such as xmms or other KDE packages, but such is life on the bleeding edge. Remember these packages have not yet been integrated to provide a smooth upgrade path from the Debian KDE2 packages to Debian KDE3 packages. The smooth upgrade should (will) be provided by the Debian KDE3 packages when they are offically included in the Debian distribution. Until then these packages which you are installing are not guarenteed to upgrade from KDE2 smoothly. Hence the instructions to purge all kdelibs3 and libarts packages before you even attempt installation. > The only thing missing is noatun. I keeps crashing. Does anyone also have > this problems? noatun is working fine here, but then again I purged my existing libarts prior to installation. Likely you --force-overwite the installation of libarts which may well mean you have all sorts of incompatible libarts libraries still sitting on your system trying to be used in an inconsistent manner, which would present the symptoms you report of noatun crashing. I would suggest that you purge all your KDE packages, reinstall the KDE2 packages, purge again and then install the KDE3 packages per the instructions.

Trust in you (or rkrusty befor) and the community that would find such things verry fast. The major disadvantage I see, is that $ dpkg --force-overwrite *.deb will hide the problems I should provide to you as a feedback for debugging the debs.

Exactly, I guarantee that you can not upgrade from KDE2 to the current debs since they have no (or very few) conflicts in the control file. I am adding as many as I know about in my 3rd set of debs that I am working on currently. I will not upload debs into sid until I am reasonably sure that I have taken care of all the upgrade issues.

Re: Experimental KDE3 debs -- first impressions
Hi, Just installed KDE3 from Calc's experimental packages - and it works very well indeed! Thank you! Here are some (minor) problems I bumped into: + kdebase-doc and konqueror contain same files => had to remove kdebase-doc before I could install konqueror + same thing with kwallpapers and kdebase-data + had to issue "apg-get install" kdelibs and kdebase multiple times before everything got installed ok. I think, though, that this was mostly because of the two conflicts above. + kdm installer started kdm automatically => login manager popped up and dpkg stuck in waiting state; had to kill kdm from console to allow dpkg finish its job - Jarno -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
