OK, I think I've got it fixed. apt-get is at least downloading and apparently reinstalling kubuntu-desktop anyway! In summary the two packages I needed from backports to fix this were:
kdebase-workspace-data_4.2.0-0ubuntu7~intrepid1_all.deb kdelibs5-data_4.2.0-0ubuntu2~intrepid2_all.deb I manually installed them via dpkg -i, as apt-get didn't seem to want to despite my uncommenting the backports repository in my sources.list. The bottom line seems to be that kubuntu-desktop packages in the main repository should depend only on packages in the main repository so users don't have to use packages from the backports repo. You can call me a happy camper now. :) Time to hit the sack I guess. -- kdelibs-bin says it has a dependency which is only available in backports https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354927 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kde4libs in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
