Actually PackageKit should have a better error message.
** Summary changed:
- Kpackagekit can't handle package dependency
+ Doesn't support installations which require a removal
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: kpackagekit
+
+ By convention the apt backend doesn't allow to install packages which
+ require the removal of other packages before, since PackageKit only has
+ got a PolicyKit privilege for removing or installing packages. There is
+ no way currently to check if the removal privilege was also granted to
+ the installing user.
+
+ Original posting:
My system is Kubuntu alpha 6 and have already installed all the
available updates.
When i was trying to install amule from Kpackagekit, I found out that it
can't handle package dependency as well as Adept. It told me that a
package dependency could not be found and told me to remove the package
libgd2-noxpm. Then I tried to remove libgd2-noxpm and recieved another
dependency failure saying that Error removing libgd2-noxpm: E:Error,
pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held
packages.
P.S. I can install amule by sudo apt-get install amule without any
problem.
** Changed in: packagekit (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
