As many of you have probably seen on /. by now, it looks like the new KDE3 final is coming really soon even though KDE themselves haven't announced it just yet (so don't go rushing out to get it, let the mirrors propagate first!). Anyway, I've recently installed apt4rpm and man, this is awesome. I've often thought about switching to Debian just for apt...but now that SuSE has it, I'm on board for good. My question is, when KDE3 is finally out and has hit the mirrors, will I be able to apt-get install it? Just for fun, I tried to install "kdebase3" with the -s option and I get: <begin snippet> Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done 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: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: (and a long list of dependencies) So, I guess my questions are, will I be able to install the new KDE3 this way? Is it just incomplete on the mirror right now? Why would this be an impossible situation as the msg above says? And why can't apt solve the dependency problems? Is it just a matter of this not being on the mirror? TIA, Bob
