In a log with Debug::pkgPackageManager=1 I can see: around lines 1576: SmartConfigure plasma-dataengines-workspace (4:4.8.0b-0ubuntu6)^M^M SmartConfigure kdepim-runtime (4:4.8.0a-0ubuntu2)^M^M Unpacking kde-runtime to avoid loop^M^M SmartUnPack kde-runtime (install version 4:4.8.0-0ubuntu1)^M^M Unpacking kdebase-runtime to avoid break^M^M SmartUnPack kdebase-runtime (replace version 4:4.4.5-0ubuntu1.1 with 4:4.8.0-0ubuntu1)^M^M Unpacking plasma-scriptengine-javascript to avoid break^M^M SmartUnPack plasma-scriptengine-javascript (replace version 4:4.4.5-0ubuntu1.1 with 4:4.8.0-0ubuntu1)^M^M SmartConfigure kde-runtime (4:4.8.0-0ubuntu1)^M^M Unpacking libattica0.3 to avoid loop^M^M ... but quite a bit later (l 1707): PreDepends order for libkrb5-3^M^M Unpacking libsmbclient to avoid break^M^M SmartUnPack libsmbclient (replace version 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.8 with 2:3.6.3-1ubuntu1)^M^M PreDepends order for libsmbclient^M^M SmartConfigure libkrb5-3 (1.10+dfsg~beta1-2)^M^M and then in l 2631: SmartConfigure libsmbclient (2:3.6.3-1ubuntu1)^M^M
So it appears that the first "SmartConfigure" for kde-runtime misses the smbclient requirement most likely because at the point it was run the package did not need anything. But then the later libkrb5-3 pre-depends caused smbclient to get unpacked at a bad time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/940396 Title: lucid -> precise main all failed to upgrade: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kde-runtime To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/940396/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
