While trying to reinstall it, I received the following error: A package dependency could not be found..... Details The following packages have unmet dependencies: kmail: Depends: libkdepim4 (= 4:4.4.8-0ubuntu2~maverick1~ppa3) but it is not going to be installed. Is this a temporary problem in the Beta release I'm testing? Thank you.

gtrip Registered Member Posts 16 Karma 0 OS	Re: KMail Package Dependency Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:18 am Thank you. Yes, I am using the KDE 4.6 Beta repositories. I also ran "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" as root. I ran "sudo apt-get install kmail" and still receive the following error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kmail : Depends: libkdepim4 (= 4:4.4.8-0ubuntu2~maverick1~ppa3) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
bcooksley Administrator Posts 19765 Karma 87 OS	Re: KMail Package Dependency Wed Dec 22, 2010 3:02 am Because KDE PIM 4.6 will not be released alongside KDE 4.6 itself, you now need to get KDE PIM 4.6 from a different repository. You can get this from the "regular backport PPA". Note that you only need to follow this route because you were using the KDE 4.6 Beta, prior to PIM -withdrawing from the release cycle. Those who have not installed any 4.6 packages prior to now should NOT use this PPA. KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]
gtrip Registered Member Posts 16 Karma 0 OS	Re: KMail Package Dependency Wed Dec 22, 2010 6:02 am Your statement "Note that you only need to follow this route because you were using the KDE 4.6 Beta, prior to PIM -withdrawing from the release cycle." caused me to look more for a solution. I noticed on the page http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.6-beta-2 If you want to try KDE PIM 4.6 you need to add the Kubuntu Experimental PPA. ppa:kubuntu-ppa/experimental I had missed that. I added that PPA to my repository list and KMail and the other PIM packages installed without error. The BETA programs have certainly improved and will be a great asset when in full release. Thank you for your assistance. I hope this information helps others as well. I wish I could do more to assist than simply testing and sending bug reports for the BETA products. Thank you once again!
