Question on running apt-get upgrade KDE
Hi folks,
RH 8.0 Whether to run apt-get necessitates creating /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde-redhat.list # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde-redhat.list Code:
### Mirrors to substitute for ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/ Code:

Not start yet. I'm searching for information in re which configure file/files I have to save first avoiding after upgrading the whole system the OS can't work. I had bitter experience on Gentoo and FreeBSD before.. By the way which option/options must be up for confirming to change configure files rather than changing all of them automatically during upgrade TIA B.R. satimis |
Hi folks,
Further to my last posting, I performed following steps but met with frustration; # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kde-redhat.list ...... rpm ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt kde-redhat/8.0 stable # apt-get update # apt-get install kde themer qt kdelibs kdebase Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done ......... Package themer has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list E: Package themer has no installation candidate # apt-get --no-act dist-upgrade ..... E: Conf Broken perl E: Conf Broken redhat-config-date E: Conf Broken xine-lib Kindly advise how to fix the problem OR to run; # yum update # yum install kde themer qt arts kdelibs kdebase # yum upgrade # cat /etc/yum.conf Code:
# $Id: yum-rh.conf,v 1.2 2003/09/18 16:29:06 dude Exp $ Kindly advise. TIA B.R. satimis |
From the error message, "themer" is not a valid package.
Can you run apt-get install kde qt kdelibs kdebase ... or even just apt-get kde (since that will pull in qt, kdelibs and kdebase)? |
Hi motub,
Tks for your advice. I even had problem in running; # apt-get update Code:

Well, I see several problems here.
1) You have a lot of invalid sources in your list. RedHat 8 is not really very supported anymore, so it's possible that several of your repositories have "closed down" RH8 areas and migrated them to RH9 or Fedora 1 and/or 2. You might want to see if some of the repositories at Fedora Legacy can replace them, as well as going to the repositories base homepage and seeing if the URLs have changed. 2) The packages you apparently need to install the dependencies are not available on the repositories you are using. Whether they are available on any RH8 repositories is a good question, but let's leave that for the moment. Ultimately, apt-get kde would attempt to install kde 3.2.3 and its dependencies, but the dependencies for kde 3.2.3 are not available (because only an earlier version of the package, such as arts, is available, or because it is not there at all, as in the case of themer). So it seems to me that you either need to give up attempting to install KDE 3.2.x on RH8 and stick with an earlier KDE version; as the most likely reason that support packages for the later version are not found in the repositories is because the distribution is unable to use them due to its age. Alternatively, you can look to find repositories on other sites, such as the one linked above, or on www.kde.org itself, to see if they might have a complete and useable set of packages that would allow you to install a recent version of KDE without upgrading your entire distribution. Hope this helps. |
Hi motub,
Tks for your advice.
