This comment is from a fairly inexperienced linux user (sometimes good to see if the novice can make it work). I am running Edgy 2.6.17-11-386 on AMD64 Turion, using KDE 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1 packages. I followed directions located in WIKI https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuDistUpgrade to the letter. Adept updated two of the KDE packages; however, the package kdelibs reports a BREAK (UPGRADE) error when trying to upgrade 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1 to 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu7~edgy1. The details tab shows kdelibs4c2a >= 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu1~edgy1 appearing in black. I went to the website http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/tmp/edgy-dist-upgrade-kde356/ and noted that the version of kdelibs4c2a is an AMD64 version.
The Adept manager did flash the various screens advising of a distribution upgrade available and did download the upgrade program; however, the program did not execute, neither before closing Adept, nor after closing Adept. I presently have Adept Notifier sitting in system tray notifying me of the kdelibs library (the broken package) to upgrade. Adept flashes the screeens and redownloads the upgrade program after each execution of the "apply" button, despite the fact that not all of the packages updated beforehand. I am assuming that if the proper kdelibs4c2a library were loaded in Jonathon Riddle's directory, it might work--I am really stretching my knowledge in making this assumption. I hope this outside feedback helps. I hear many good things about Feisty that will fix several annoyances that I have contended with last 6 months with Dapper and Edgy and am looking forward to its stable release.
