yakuake (kuake) debian AMD64

virtualx · 12-15-2005, 12:34 PM

So I just learned that yakuake is in the AMD64 repositories as kuake. However just tying to apt-get results in this:

Code:

# apt-get install kuake
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kuake: Depends: kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.3.2-4) but it is not installable
         Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.3) but it is not installable
  yakuake: Depends: kdelibs4c2 (>= 4:3.4.2-1) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So I started to resolve this:

Code:

# apt-get install kdelibs4
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package kdelibs4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  kdelibs4c2 kdelibs4c2a
E: Package kdelibs4 has no installation candidate

then:

Code:

apt-get install kdelibs4c2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package kdelibs4c2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  kdelibs4c2a
E: Package kdelibs4c2 has no installation candidate

again:

Code:

# apt-get install kdelibs4c2a
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
kdelibs4c2a is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

If kdelibs4c2a replaces both packages why is apt requiring the older packages?

Because the package has not been rebuilt to depend on the kdelibs4c2a yet and still depends on the older libraries.

I just rebuilt it here and it seems like it will install fine with the correct dependencies.

If you want to try to rebuild yourself you should install at least the devscripts, dpkg-dev, fakeroot and build-essentials packages then as normal user.

Code:

mkdir -p ~/src/kuake
cd ~/src/kuake
apt-get source kuake
cd kuake-0.3

As root:

Code:

apt-get build-dep kuake

Then as normal user in the ~/src/kuake/kuake-0.3 directory.

Code:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc

Now as root again in the ~/src/kuake directory.

Code:

dpkg -i kuake_0.3-4_amd64.deb

Run the program and see if it works.

I guess I'm still sort of a new user because I've never used apt to build a package before. Thanks for the walk though!! I'm sure it will be useful for similar problems in the future!

Only a couple things I should mention to others wishing to try this route:
The prerequired package is "build-essential" not build-essentials, (was easy to guess though) just apt-get install.
If you've tried yakauke, kauke is similar, but not exactly the same. It has the ability to be shown and withdrawn by mouse click, and screen with isn't adjustable just height.

So after going though all that I've now found out that yakuke was available in the expermental distribution. I installed it at the same time as KDE 3.5 (alioth.debian.org). For anyone stubling across this thread to grab both /etc/apt/sources.lst should include:

Code:

# Experemental
deb ftp://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ experimental main
deb-src ftp://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ experimental main

# KDE 3.5
deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.5-rc1 ./
