[Bug 324277] [NEW] kde4.2 install failed: dependency problems

[Tony Green]

Public bug reported:

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.
