I am running Kubuntu Lucid. I added "deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3-
maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main" to my sources, updated and ran "apt-
get install kubuntu-desktop-kde3". However, it would not install:
kdelibs4c2a-kde3: Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (> 4:3.5.12) but it is not
going to be installed
Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (< 4:3.5.13) but it is not
going to be installed
So, I tried installing kdelibs-data-kde3 but, again, nogo:
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data-kde3_4%3a3.5.12-0ubuntu6+r1152788_all.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/etc/kde3/ksslcalist', which is also in package
kdelibs-data 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2
Any advice appreciated.
The old kdelibs-data 4:3.5.10 and the new kdelibs-data-kde3 cannot coexist
on the same system. KDE3/Trinity is not compatible with the very old
official KDE3.5.10 packages from Ubuntu; however, most KDE3.5.10 software
that was originally available is now part of KDE3/Trinity. Simply add a
-kde3 suffix to install the Trinity version.
What I would recommend doing is:
apt-get remove kdelibs-data
Then install KDE3/Trinity, and install the KDE3/Trinity versions of any
applications that were removed with the above command.
Hope this helps!
