Gwenview won't update

[Teunis]

Since a few days a Gwenview update is held back.

I had a look at the dependencies and figured maybe I should first remove it and then reinstall.

A bad move, the removal went fine, now there are dependency issues preventing a new installation

Anyway, I traced back the dependencies and there is a solution, first install:

libkf5kipi-data

Next

ibkf5kipi30.0.0

And finally

gwenview

The bonus: for the first time in almost a year some kipi plugins have reappeared!

The negative, showfoto and kipi-data won't update without removing ... gwenview

I'm having a problem where i cannot install gwenview and ksnapshot at the same time...

ksnapshot (a lingering KDE 4 program) has been replaced with Spectacle (package name kde-spectacle)
gwenview they are working on getting the kipi-plugins working with it again. The kde4 kipi packages that Ksnapshot uses are replaced by the Frameworks 5 kipi libraries, though these older libs have not been removed from the archive yet. So what aptm is doing is actually correct.

Wonderful thank you I was unaware of this obviously. Ill just get rid of snapshot and use gwenview with spectacle.

You *may* have to set the keyboard shortcut (Prnt Scrn) to use the new spectacle. (/usr/bin/spectacle) Not sure if that part was fixed yet or not.

KDE_Specacle wants to remove plasma-desktop and plasma desktop-data...

Not here, on my 16.04 system. A simulated install (sudo apt-get install --simulate kde-spectacle) shows that the only action would be to install that package.
