kde4addons: dependency problems

It would be interesting to find out how you are trying to update packages from over 6 months ago. The current releases of anything KDE 4 for both Gutsy and Hardy are version 4.0.2.

There are still kde 3.92 packages in universe (and similar in gutsty-backports I believe). They're the source of a few failed kde4 installs that pop up on irc lately from people that search adept or synaptic before reading the kubuntu.org instructions.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/kde4addons

They should be removed or replaced with something that points to the current naming and version of kde 4.0.x.

Actually, I first tried to install kde4 from the repositories before looking
at the instructions in kubuntu.org. When I submitted the bug report I had
already installed it "correctly", but I chose to report it anyway since,
certainly, this seems a bug to me. In my opinion, a package which cannot be
installed should not be in the repositories, since this can be very
confusing to many users.
