Kile dependencies should be changed to allow texlive

Thanks for your bug report.

It seems to be already the case since 1:1.9.1-1 version (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=372191).

$ apt-cache show kile | grep "Depends:"
Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.3-1), libc6 (>= 2.4-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.0), libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.6), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.0), konsole, tetex-bin | texlive-base-bin

Thanks. I assume this is in feisty?

Yes, I think it is: we can see it at http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/tex/kile

This version is also in Edgy, see http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/tex/kile
(at least for i386)

As far as I know the version in edgy does not have the right dependencies (I ended up installing kile from source because of that), I will post the apt-get output in a few hours, when I get back home.

As I remembered, the dependencies are broken in edgy. Attempting to install kile with texlive installed produces this output:

lb@leon:~$ LC_ALL=C sudo aptitude install kile

The following packages are BROKEN:

The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:
  kdvi kviewshell libt1-5 libxml-parser-perl perl-tk tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-doc tetex-extra
The following packages will be automatically REMOVED:
  texlive-base-bin
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  kdvi kile kviewshell libt1-5 libxml-parser-perl perl-tk tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-doc tetex-extra

Ok, I was able to reproduce this in an edgy chroot.

It seems to be an issue with recommended packages, because:
$ LC_ALL=C sudo aptitude install kile
produces the same output as you, whereas
$ LC_ALL=C sudo aptitude --without-recommends install kile
works.
Besides,
$ LC_ALL=C sudo apt-get install kile
works too.

But I don't know which package is causing this ^^".

There are recommends in kdvi that cause this:

lb@leon:~$ dpkg -s kdvi | grep Recommends
Recommends: tetex-bin

Should I open another bug on kdvi?

i'm getting the same with aptitude, whereas with synaptic, there is no error, and i can install texlive with kile (if i actively choose texlive before choosing kile). so is there a bug in synaptic too, or is it just what synaptic should behave like?
it's the same with edgy and feisty.

I can confirm that in feisty herd 4 for amd64 this problem is still present (kile still depends on tetex-bin instead than texlive).

Fixed in Feisty some months ago.

Not yet fixed in amd64, after today upgrade:

$ apt-cache show kile|grep "Version"
Version: 1:1.8.1-3.2ubuntu1

$ apt-cache show kile|grep "Depends"
Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.2), libacl1 (>= 2.2.11-1), libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.16), libattr1 (>= 2.4.4-1), libaudio2, libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.3.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.10-1), libgamin0, libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.2), libice6, libidn11 (>= 0.5.18), libjpeg62, libpcre3 (>= 4.5), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.8rel), libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.6), libsm6, libstdc++6 (>= 4.0.2-4), libx11-6, libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxext6, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxi6, libxinerama1, libxrandr2, libxrender1, libxt6, zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1), konsole, tetex-bin

Upstream has removed the dependency from tetex regarding kile's documentation, so the next version of kile should support both tetex and texlive:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138282

However, as I pointed out in an earlier comment, the problem also resides within kdvi (as bug #76969 points out: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdegraphics/+bug/76969)

Kile also still recommends tetex packages.

$ aptitude show kile | grep Recommends
Recommends: tetex-extra, tetex-doc, kdvi, kghostview

Also, it suggests pybliographer. It should probably recommend kbibtex instead.
