I have read the Unofficial FAQ for kubuntu and looked at the wiki. But I still have some problems.For example, when I try to install Kmail I get this erro
Code:
@ubuntu:~/music$ sudo apt-get install kmail
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:
kmail: Depends: libkleopatra1 (>= 4:3.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libkpimidentities1 (>= 4:3.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
If I understood the sources.list file, I could probably sort myself out. I see there are different "sections" in the repositories, eg. main, restricted, universe and multiverse. But then there is also - breezy, breezy-security.
Why are there not just three repositories in the sources.list file. One for breezy and one for breezy-security and one for breezy-backports. And just follow each entry with "main restricted universe multiverse". Problem solved??
Also, I cannot download things like win32codecs. So what other repositories should I add, and which "sections" so I "enable" (again, such as - main, restricted etc).
I've migrated from mandriva (2 years using it) where I knew there were just 6 repositories and that covered everything. Free and non-free. But I'm lost with kubuntu. If anyone can help me make sense of this, I'd apprecite it. I really dont think it should be this difficult, and the online help is not comprehensive enough.
Thank you for listening!
