I currently am running Libranet 1.90, based on Debian Potato It comes with KDE2.1, and I wanted to upgrade to 2.1.1, but ran into difficulty.......
With apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, I consistently have a large number of KDE packages held back. So I tried to install them using apt-get install I tried to install kdebase-libs it wanted kdelibs3, which I tried to install : manjushri:/home/michael# apt-get install kdelibs3 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: � Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: � kdelibs3: Depends: libssl096 but it is not installable E: Sorry, broken packages So, i tried to apt-get install libssl096- this is what happened: Package libssl096 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 libssl096 has no installation candidate I'm a Debian newbie... Does this mean there is a problem with the build of a package - perhaps a typo or something? �When I check the database of all Debian packages for libssl* �I see: �������� Debian package search results Release� Quality Package (size) stable � 100% �� libssl09-dev 0.9.4-5 � (542.9k) �������� SSL development libraries testing �������� 46% ��� libssl095a 0.9.5a-6 � (391.3k) �������� SSL shared libraries (old version) unstable 46% ��� libssl095a 0.9.5a-6 � (391.3k) �������� SSL shared libraries (old version) testing �������� 37% ��� libssl-dev 0.9.6-2 � (652.6k) �������� SSL development libraries, header files and documentation unstable 37% ��� libssl-dev 0.9.6a-1 � (749.5k) �������� SSL development libraries, header files and documentation stable � 12% ��� libssl09 0.9.4-5 � (350.2k) �������� SSL shared libraries testing �������� 12% ��� libssl09 0.9.4-6 � (350.6k) �������� SSL shared libraries (old version) unstable 12% ��� libssl09 0.9.4-6 � (350.6k) �������� SSL shared libraries (old version) testing �������� 5% ���� libssl0.9.6 0.9.6-2 � (446.4k) �������� SSL shared libraries unstable 5% ���� libssl0.9.6 0.9.6a-1 � (451.5k) �������� SSL shared librariesResponses 1-10 shown, out of total of 10.
