kubuntu installation in ubuntu

[svetlin]

Hi

I want to install Kubuntu on 1GHz P3 with Ubuntu installed through the alternate cd, but I receive the following error when trying to install kubuntu-desktop or kde package:

svetlin@svemar:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
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:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kubuntu-desktop: Depends: language-selector-qt but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

There's no problem installing kde-core.
Any help?

kubuntu-desktop: Depends: language-selector-qt but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Try

sudo apt-get install language-selector-qt

It's a dependency. You MUST have that file otherwise the package will not be installed. The dependency for installing KDE in your second situation is kdesdk, so you can apt-get that package too. A possible reason this is happening, is because your repositories aren't enabled. In /etc/apt/sources.list you can uncomment repositories, then type

sudo apt-get update

then try reinstalling kubuntu-desktop.

Seems there is a dependency problem with language-selector-qt, which I'm sure will be corrected soon (if it hasn't been already)
