[SOLVED]KPackageKit Dependancy Problems[SOLVED] See my last post...

[thelonegunmen]

I keep runing into some pretty exausting issues when it comes to downloading rather common files from KPackageKit. I've tried downloadig some things that are rather common, like xscreensaver-data-extra for example. The message I get is this:

Dependancy Resolution Failed- KPackageKit

A package dependency could not be found.
More information is available in the detailed report.

Under the "Details" panel:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xscreensaver-data-extra: Depends: libjpeg-progs but it is not installable

Now here's the deal, you're probably thinknig this is not that big of an issue, I didn't think it was a first either, but this sort of thing happens with nearly EVERY thing I try to get from the package kit, it's almost always some lib problem. Any ideas on how I can get all the libs I need?

Re: KPackageKit Dependancy Problems

KPackageKit, while it has improved - alot - since it's debut, still has some maturing to do. Do your self a favor, and either install Synaptic or Muon. If you don't want to do that, use KPackageKit to locate the package you want, then install it from the console using:

sudo apt-get install package

If unmet dependencies are reported this way, then there are real dependency issues, and the package should not be forced.

Re: KPackageKit Dependancy Problems

Have you fetched updates?
Do you have any external repos enabled (PPA's)?

I don't think this is a KPackageKit issue, it sounds like a broken/missing package issue in apt.

So try the command-line to see if there is more info on the error:

sudo apt-get update

and

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Re: KPackageKit Dependancy Problems

Just one external ppa, but it's from a trusty launchpad user. I'm just trying to install things from the official repositories right now.

Re: KPackageKit Dependancy Problems

Well, a simulated install of xscreensaver-data-extra works here (Maverick w/KDE 4.6.00). I'd be inclined to think that what ever package(s) you installed with the 'trusted' ppa might be causing the dependency problem.

Re: KPackageKit Dependancy Problems

Well I haven't even installed any packages from that ppa, I can't install Muon either, it's missing libs too, every lib around me seems to be missing, this is nuts.

So I don't really get it.

Somehow I solved the problem in the settings, I just selected each one of the ppas and edited the origins, didn't change anything, but somehow that fixed, weird.
