Re: dist-upgrade using http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.0/

2005-05-25 Thread R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar 

Thank you for your suggestion, Greg.

I changed my /etc/apt/preferences settings to yours, but that did not help.

However, I did manage to install I KDE 3.4 in a roundabout way as follows:

1.  I renamed my default /etc/apt/sources.list file to 
/etc/apt/sources_perm.list.


2. I then made an /etc/apt/sources_KDE.list file with only the line

deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.0/ ./

3. I symlinked /etc/apt/sources.list to /etc/apt/sources_KDE.list.

4. I did apt-get update  apt-get dist-upgrade with this file and was 
able to upgrade to KDE 3.4, with a few exceptions.


5. I then symlinked /etc/apt/sources.list to /etc/apt/sources_perm.list.

6. I then ran apt-get update and apt-get install to install additional 
files needed for the exceptions in step 4.


7. I looped between steps 3 and 6 until all KDE 3.4 packages were 
downloaded.


8. I exited after performing step 5 once more.

I still cannot understand why the presence of other lines in my 
/etc/apt/sources.list file should in any way interfere with the update 
to KDE 3.4 from the alioth.debian.org site.


I have attached my /etc/apt/sources.list file in case anyone can throw 
light on this.


Thanks.

 Folks,

 I want to install KDE 3.4 on my PC using Debian apt-get.

 I followed the wiki at

 http://wiki.debian.net/?Kde34

 added the line

 deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.0/ ./

 to /etc/apt/sources.list and did a dist-upgrade.

 I get the following message:

 The following packages have been kept back:
kdenetwork-kfile-plugins kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 nvidia-glx
 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

 The packages kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 and nvidia-glx are held back
 manually by my selections, but if I try

 apt-get install kdenetwork-kfile-plugins

 I get a message ending

 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kdenetwork-kfile-plugins: Depends: kdelibs4 (= 4:3.4.0) but
 4:3.3.2-6 is to be installed

 FYI, I have done

 apt-get install kde

 and the version of the kde metapackage is 5:44.  I think my existing
 KDE installation 3.3.2 is whole and unbroken.

 apt-get install -tPackage: *
Pin: release a=sarge
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 70
 unstable kde

 brings the message

 kde is already the newest version.

 My /etc/apt/preferences file has the following settings:
 
 Package: *
 Pin: release a=stable
 Pin-Priority: 500

 Package: *
 Pin: release a=testing
 Pin-Priority: 600

 Package: *
 Pin: release a=unstable
 Pin-Priority: 50

 

 What must I do to upgrade to KDE 3.4 on my PC?

 Please copy replies to my email address.

I just did this to my Sarge workstation. The only difference I see is my 
preferences file, and I used deslect to do the upgrade, no warnings 
though.  I only have Sarge official sources , plus the 
~alioth.debian.org source line in my sources.list file.
