I have the same problem with kcpuload and knetload. I really like those old KDE 3 apps which are (unfortunately) still much better than the newer plasma widgets.
I'm running quantal and currently have kdelibs5-plugins version 4:4.10.0-0ubuntu2~ubuntu12.10~ppa1 and the lucid versions of kcpuload, knetload and kdelibs4c2a installed. Since kdelibs5-plugins breaks kdelibs4c2a I have a conflict: $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -V Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdelibs5-plugins : Breaks: kdelibs4c2a but 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. $ sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: kcpuload kdelibs4c2a knetload 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 1 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 35.8 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n Abort. I still would like to keep kdelibs5-plugins and kdelibs4c2a installed in parallel. Can kdelibs5-plugins be fixed that way? Otherwise, would it be better to set up a PPA with all those KDE3 apps and add new kdelibs4c2a version which does not conflict kdelibs5-plugins? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100622 Title: package kdelibs5-plugins (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/ktelnetservice', which is also in package kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/+bug/1100622/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
