Kubuntu 13.04: Update for kscreen won't update

Alectrus · 08-06-2013, 06:00 PM

Hello all,

I am running Kubuntu 13.04 and today I noticed an update for kscreen (via Muon Updater). When trying to update, it asks me to also update libkscreen1, to which I say OK. Then, I am back at Muon with no packages checked. If I manually check kscreen, it asks me to install libkscreen1 and remove libkscreen0, which I again say OK. Even after this, the Install Updates button is grayed out.

Doing a sudo apt-get upgrade, I get this:

The following packages have been kept back:
kscreen
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

What does that mean?

It should be upgraded by:
# apt-get install kscreen

Typically packages can be held back because of dependency issues. If you have aptitude installed and type

Code:

aptitude

with no arguments into a terminal you can select Upgradable Packages, the first item on the screen and then it will show you what the problems are with each package you select.
