Alright, I have spent the last three nights researching and trying to install ktorrent, with little luck.

I first tried to download a .deb package from here http://packages.debian.org/unstable/kde/ktorrent but recieved this problem

Code: Select all

# dpkg -i ktorrent_2.2.0.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package ktorrent.
(Reading database ... 114793 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking ktorrent (from ktorrent_2.2.0.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ktorrent:

  Version of kdelibs4c2a on system is 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-8.
 ktorrent depends on libc6 (>= 2.5-5); however:
  Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.6.ds1-13.

dpkg: error processing ktorrent (--install):

and this one with a different deb package.

Code: Select all

# dpkg -i --force-overwrite ktorrent-dbg_2.2.0.dfsg.1-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package ktorrent-dbg.

  Package ktorrent is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing ktorrent-dbg (--install):

After that I tried using the latest svn snapshot with checkinstall and got this.

Code: Select all

# checkinstall --fstrans=no --strip=no --stripso=no unsermake install

Bye.

I'm stuck with ideas and have run into a dead end. Does anyone have any ideas? Everything is up to date on my system.

You're using etch (stable) and the latest ktorrent (as deb package) is available only for unstable (unstable package is installable on testing too though). I'm going to do backport to etch one way or another once 2.2.1 is out (really soon if I'm not mistaken). I'll let you know.

Hmm, didn't know you couldn't use unstable bits with stable bits. Yeah let me know when your port it, I'm getting sick of the current version crashing all the time.

See http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=10169#10169 how to get 2.2.1 for etch.

Wicked sheers for that. I'll try it out tonight and get back to you.
