Bug Description

Binary package hint: libkonq4-dev

Hi there,

I recently upgraded my edgy to kde 3.5.6. Now I want to compile kerry and i need the libkonq4-dev package. Unfortunately there is an unmet dependancy. Seems to be a naming issue...

martijn@sys:~$ sudo apt-get install libkonq4-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libkonq4-dev: Depends: libkonq4 (= 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1) but 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

can you paste the result of:

apt-cache policy libkonq4-dev libkonq4 please?

Do you have backports enabled?

Hey thanks Sarah! (again :) ) That (apt-cache policy) was a good hint. Apparently the version i had installed was newer than the one in the repository. Shouldn't have been there in the first place of course, but now I downgraded it, and everything is fine again.

This closes the bug for me... but more people might suffer from it, as this 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1 0 version has been living in some repository somewhere at sometime (i didn't compile it). And not only for libkonq4. I checked the 'obsolete-status' in synaptic, and a lot of kde packages suffer from this. Maybe the whole kde 3.5.6 set should be upgraded to 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu2~edgy1 0 to clean up this mess?

(yes i have backports enabled)
