Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.3-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
The package kdebase-data was upgraded to 3.5.4-1. Depending on this a lot of
kde-packages (kdebase, kde-core, konqueror, kdm, kdenetwork) are removed on
the system. Unfortunetaly the upgrade of the removed packages are not possible,
because the 'apt-get install kdm' will give me the following message:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
apt-get install kdm
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:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdm: Depends: kdebase-data (< 4:3.5.4) but 4:3.5.4-1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
...and a command 'apt-get install kdebase-data' are giving me a message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
apt-get install kdebase-data
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
kdebase-data is already the newest version.

So the kde system won't work on my system. :-(((

What happened was that kdelibs and kdebase 3.5.4-1 were uploaded for the
amd64 architecture, and added to the archive. The i386 build daemon has
not yet uploaded i386 binaries, however, so while the arch-indep data
packages were made available for all architectures, it will be another
day or two before the rest of kdelibs/kdebase becomes available.
This is a normal problem with Debian, but one that i386 users usually
aren't aware of, because until recently (when amd64 was added to
Debian) very few uploads were made for non-i386 architectures. Thus
arch-specific i386 binary packages were almost always in sync with the
arch-indep data packages. The apt error message hints at the problem:

The solution, for Sid users, is simply to watch what apt is going to do
before letting it upgrade/dist-upgrade. If it's too late, you can
always downgrade to the data packages in Etch/testing to get the rest
of KDE back. There is nothing KDE-specific about this situation. We
have very tight dependencies between our binary and data packages for
good reasons (in the past, many users have been bitten by partial
upgrades, caused by data packages being upgraded before anything else).
Hope this makes matters more clear. I'm CCing debian-kde, so that other
users can avoid the problem you ran into.
Thanks,
Christopher Martin
