Problem installing KDE4 on Debian sid
Hi,
I did a net install of Debian with lenny cd. Then changed my sources.list to testing. After a while wanted to use sid and accordingly changed the sources.list to sid. Then did update and dist-upgrades. Now if I type cat /etc/issue, I get
Code:
Debian GNU/Linux squeeze/sid \n \l
Does it mean I'm not pure Sid? Is that important anyway? Coz, I'm trying to install KDE4 on this system and it ends up showing dependency error.
I followed the method mentioned in The Debian KDE maintainers website. Edited sources.list to include 'experimental' and then again did apt-get update. But whether I try,
Code:
apt-get install -t experimental kde4-minimal
or
Code:
aptitude install -t experimental kde4-minimal
it gives dependency error as,
Code:
SV-V1400:/home/saivin# apt-get install -t experimental kde4-minimal

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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kde4-minimal: Depends: kdebase-runtime (>= 4:4.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdebase-workspace (>= 4:4.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kdebase (>= 4:4.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
Those who I contacted on IRC had followed the same method and it had worked for them. Whats wrong with my system then? Could somebody help me out?
