In trying to install Digikam 1.7 on Kubuntu 10.10 I got myself into
dependency hell. I was installing some Natty packages with dpkg. Now I
cannot even open Konsole, Dolphin, or any other KDE app other that
what is already open. When I try to "apt-get install -f" in a virtual
terminal it wants to remove almost everything! Of course, I cannot cut
and paste from there. Of course, the apt-get database is up to date
with the proper repos.
Help! I don't know what to do! I tried removing the last packages
installed as listed in /var/lib/dpkg/info (with a simple ls -la
command in there), but aptitiude and apt-get both want to remove 200
packages even when I try to remove just those ten or so.
What I did when it happenned to me during an upgrade: let it remove what
it wants, then install kubuntu-desktop to get the important stuff. But
first make sure it leaves you with a network stack, and if not, keep the
debs of things like gnome network manager on the side, so you can
install them manually if needed.
