rdesktop conflicts

dhcolesj · 09-13-2004, 06:04 PM

I am running from the Debian SID normal "official" sources for my apt-get operations. My question is why can I not install rdesktop without it wanting to remove KDE, KNETWORK, and one other package. Is there any way to get this and the tsclient package installed anyway?

Possibly a bug if it is krdc that is included for the other package. What does the output of the simulated install command look like eg apt-get -s install rdesktop tsclient it seems to want to install here on my testing/unstable system perhaps trying to install those version of the packages will work for you I have all that I can get of KDE 3.3 from unstable installed so if it will work for me it should work for you.

Just checked I don't have the krdc installed but it will work with the version from testing but not unstable.

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I am running KDE 3.3.3 Obviously from Debian. Do I really need the "kde (4:3.1.2 Debian:unstable)" shown above? The others I know I need, but I'm curious about that one.

Those packages are going to install fine the only thing you really lose is the krdc so if you can live without this then you are good to go. The kde and kdenetwork are meta packages they really do nothing but make sure that everything installs they are expendable and can be removed.

Code:

[HappyTux:/usr/src/linux]# apt-cache policy kdenetwork

[HappyTux:/usr/src/linux]# apt-cache policy kde
