It apparently depends on a version of kdelibs5-data which isn't available via even with the backports repository enabled (do you have to specify the backport version?). Manual installation via
r...@amaterasu:/etc/apt# dpkg -i /home/user/Desktop/kdelibs5-data_4.2.0-0ubuntu2~intrepid2_all.deb fixed many of the 'Depends' errors. Now I have only: r...@amaterasu:/etc/apt# apt-get install kubuntu-desktop Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kubuntu-desktop: Depends: kdebase-workspace-bin but it is not going to be installed Recommends: openoffice.org-kde but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages -- 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
