Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase-kde4

Attempting to install KDE4.2 as per instructions at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2
System: Kubuntu 8.10 AMD-64 (kdebase selected as I'm not sure which of the several packages mentioned should really be selected)

After downloading all packages, an error message appeared:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Commit failed.
To continue, hit ok and we will try to recover. If you close the application now, we will not do anything and you may try to resolve the problem manually.
(If you suspect this is a bug in Adept, please also provide the following exception description in the report).

The error was:

This APPEARS to have installed everything, but I'm raising this bug before logging out while I've got all the information available on-screen. If I find further problems after re-starting X, I'll report back.

kdebase-runtime-dbg still needs to be upgraded. (It failed because it tried to overwrite a file that was in a previous version of kdelibs5-dbg.)

To do that do a sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-runtime-dbg_4%3a4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa3_amd64.deb

and then a sudo apt-get install -f for good measure. Thanks for the bug report!

Thanks Jonathan.

For the record, after re-starting , the "updates available" icon was still showing a large number of updates to install. Clicking it seemed to finish off configuring (which I thought my earlier commands had done - shows how well I understand apt).

...now to see what else KDE have managed to break in this release ;-)

I've just encountered this this morning after getting update to 4.2 indication on my Intrepid install (with back-ports enabled). Mine seemed to be an issue with Kate requiring libplasma3 but libplasma2 was blocking it. I've attached a dump of errors I got but I can attach anything els ein case it's of use (or open a new bug if you want it).

I got around it by manually force installing libplasma3, the tried a forced overwrite of

kdebase-workspace-libs4+5_4%3a4.2.0-0ubuntu1~intrepid2_i386.deb

Which seemed to be the next problem after the Kate issue, then I just did a force on full-upgrade (patience ran out !) and it worked. So perhaps I didn't do it in most effiecient way but I've got 4.2 running.
