can't install k3b due to unmet dependencies

When I install k3b, the problem appears. I am using testing version.

Code:

mathsniper:~# apt-get install k3b

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:

  k3b: Depends: k3blibs (>= 0.12.2) but it is not going to be installed

      Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.3.2-6.1) but it is not installable

      Depends: libmusicbrainz4 (>= 2.1.1) but it is not installable

      Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.4) but it is not installable

E: Broken packages

You gotta get it from Sid which will also dl a whole bunch of KDE libs. Doesn't seem to break anything tho.

do apt-get install -t unstable k3b and it should install, that's what I had to do.

The problem doesn't solve of installing unstable k3b. The dependencies appear also. What is the matter with?

pstoddard is right. The problem is likely libqt3c102-mt. If you install k3b from unstable it will use the new libqt3. Are you using gnome?

k3b and amarok now in testing/etch. Also kde 3.5 hits the testing.

Anyone had any issues doing the big upgrade to kde 3.5, udev, dropping of hal, k3b, etc.?

Al

right now in testing kde 3.5,k3b and amarok is the same version as unstable. i was using kde 3.5 from sid. So it became testing. No problem with kde 3.5 and new versions of hal,udev etc.. Only it install dbus package and removes dbus-1 with dependancies.
