Whenever problems like this arise in immature package management apps, one can always fall back to apt-get or aptitude, smart, etc. They work fine.
So, I wonder: where is the wisdom in replacing such mature, stable systems with ones written from scratch that are intended to look pretty? Don't Synaptic and Adept sit on top of apt, therefore giving them a mature, stable base? Apt and aptitude have had many years of refining. What's wrong with them? If there are some new ideas that they don't support, why not extend them to support those ideas, rather than starting from scratch? They probably went through similar growing pains when they were new, but that was a long time ago. The whole idea of OSS is to build and stand on the shoulders of giants. And, as others have mentioned, Ubuntu sails along smoothly with Synaptic, et al. Kubuntu will never realize its potential until issues like this are resolved at a strategic level. (Hardy still seems to be the most stable, reliable, trouble-free version of Kubuntu!) Forgive me if my ignorance is showing, but where is the wisdom in all this? -- Doesn't support installations which require a removal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kpackagekit in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
