Sorry, but I'm not sure this is fixed. If you look at the build from 2009-06-08, no -dev package was produced: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/kdebase/4:4.2.90-0ubuntu1
I still get this: #sudo apt-get install kdebase-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package kdebase-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: libkonqsidebarplugin4-dev kdelibs4-dev E: Package kdebase-dev has no installation candidate -- kdebase-dev - Package not available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382319 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
