Hi I'm running into a problem installing kdev-python, the rest of my system is up to date. How can I fix the problem below:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kdev-python : Depends: kdevplatform8-libs (>= 1.7.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Neon is trying to install the ancient version 1.7.3 from Ubuntu upstream; since it has non-ancient kdevplatform the dependency can't be met.

This isn't the first time this has happened (or the second); we get reports like this every couple of months. I would recommend that you use OpenSUSE Tumbleweed if you expect up-to-date packages that are actually tested.

The package in Neon is kdevelop-python

That worked. Thanks!
