>I have a fresh install of Kubuntu 18.04.01 - not an upgrade, thus no leftovers.
Hm, strange. From what I can see I was able to succesfully install codeblocks-common without any issues on my 18.04 system: $ apt policy codeblocks-common codeblocks-common: Installed: 16.01+dfsg-2.1 Candidate: 16.01+dfsg-2.1 Version table: *** 16.01+dfsg-2.1 500 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status and the libhunspell-1.4-0 package doesn't seem to exist in the repositories, so I'm really curious where it might be coming from. $ apt policy libhunspell-1.4-0 N: Unable to locate package libhunspell-1.4-0 N: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libhunspell-1.4-0' N: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libhunspell-1.4-0' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1804294 Title: Broken package "codeblocks" or "codeblocks-contrib" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/codeblocks/+bug/1804294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
