Did I speak too soon about maintaining sid I wonder? Famous last
words and all that? Anyway, I seem to have lost Amarok from my sid
machine. When I went to install it, the response was:
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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
amarok: Depends: amarok-common (= 1.4.10-3) but it is not going to
be installed
Recommends: amarok-konqsidebar but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
I'm a little surprised about this actually because I didn't realise
that Amarok depended on amarok-konqsidebar, but more importantly -
how do I resolve this issue? I am not at all conscious of having
broken any packages, although do not have the full KDE4 installed?
Is that likely to fix this issue?
I'd appreciate a steer please, because the Amarok package is clearly
in the sid repositories and it would be a good object lesson for me
to understand (a) what I might have done to contribute to this
situation and (b) how to resolve it.
Amarok appears to be in transition. Note the differing versions of
amarok and amarok-common. So, I'd wait a few days.
$ apt-cache policy amarok
amarok:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.4.10-3+b1
Version table:
2.1.1-1 0
1 http://ftp.debian.org ../project/experimental/main Packages
1.4.10-3+b1 0
500 ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
$ apt-cache policy amarok-common
amarok-common:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.1.1-3
Version table:
2.1.1-3 0
500 ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
2.1.1-1 0
1 http://ftp.debian.org ../project/experimental/main Packages
Phew! Thanks Ron. I thought that I'd bust my new toy already!! :)
Is this pretty much what one can expect using sid/ unstable then -
packages being in transition for a few days until an upstream maintainer
sorts things out? If so, then the earlier thread I started re:
maintaining a sid system in a usable (note I didn't say "stable"!) state
becomes clearer.
Many thanks
AG
