Howdy,
Did my first install of kubuntu yesterday, and today found that all did
not go well with the kde 3.5 upgrade (as others have reported...).
The area that I had problems with was with everything relating to
kdepim. Turns out that you have to have the breezy universe component
enabled in the repositories, otherwise libgnokii2, which is depended
upon by kaddressbook, will not be found and installed.
What's kind of disappointing is that Adept can't provide this
information... maybe it's too young yet, I'm not sure... but rather than
telling me something's simply "broken", a simple why would probably
help many out (including providing information for the
developers/packagers) in these situations. *shrug*
kpackage, while not being much brainier, did provide me with the info.
after probing around a bit. (And I'm sure if I was real familiar with
dpkg and/or the apt utilities I'd have been able to find it easier
too...)
Anyhow, thought I'd get this info. out in a public place...
