he package that I unpacked and moved the files over from is this one..
kdemultimedia3-3.1.3-9.i586.rpm
When I do an "apt-get install kdemultimedia3' then it wants to delete the following...
zeus:~ # apt-get install kdemultimedia3 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: kdeaddons3-sound kdemultimedia3-devel kdemultimedia3-extra kdemultimedia3-midi kdemultimedia3-sound kdemultimedia3-video kdemultimedia3-video-xine The following NEW packages will be installed: kdemultimedia3
So it looks like either a packaging problem or an apt issue. I don't know which. Apt usually won't install packages that contain conflicting files and I've not had this issue before.
It seems something with the packages being removed: rbos@linux:kde/applications> rpm -q --qf "%{OBSOLETES}\n" kdemultimedia3-midi kdemultimedia3-sound | sort kdemultimedia3 kdemultimedia3
rbos@linux:kde/applications> rpm -qp --qf "%{OBSOLETES}\n" kdemultimedia3-3.1.3-9.i586.rpm (none)
As you can see the kdemultimedia3-sound tells that it obsoletes kdemultimedia3. Now the something is: is apt correct by proposing to remove the pkgs kdemultimedia3-* as they obsoletes kdemultimedia3.... Or are the kdemultimedia3-* wrong, because they are not obsoleting kdemultimedia3????
Well..from what I can tell. No the kdemultimedia3-* packages do not obsolete the kdemultimedia3 pkg because it's the only package that has kscd and the kio_audio stuff in it. It appears to need all seven of the package it wants to remove and the 8 "obsoleted" package to be complete yet it seems to be one or the other with apt. I'd say something to Adrian but I'm afraid I'd just get "it's an apt problem" since SuSE doesn't support apt...even though this has not happened before to me. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
