howdy, I'm running Libranet 2.7, which is woody 3.0 & lots of nice extras. My troubles started with upgrading KDE 3.05 to 3.1. I didn't want to, I wanted Quanta, and it needed KDE 3.1. So I says well, OK.
I started with apt-get upgrade kdelibs4 which went fine. Then: apt-get upgrade kdelibs-bin That's when the trouble started. libarts1 and libartsc0 won't install. I tried apt-get -f install, it failed too. As did dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libarts1_1.1.0-0woody4_i386.deb So I says to myself, I says self, uninstall everything and start over. Well, if I try apt-get remove <anything> this same darned unmet dependency pops up: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: arts: Depends: libartsc0 (>= 1.1.0-0woody4) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libarts1 (>= 1.1.0-0woody4) but 1.0.5a-0woody1 is to be installed I won't bore you with ranting about how installing a single KDE app leads to this huge ugly winderz-type interdepency mess. I didn't want to upgrade, I just wanted Quanta. My source is deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1/Debian stable main So- any bright ideas? Thanks!
