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 -- Doesn't support installations which require a removal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342671 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
