Hey,
I installed KDE Neon today and wanted to setup everything so also installing Calibre and Telegram, but when I try to download them I get the error: "Dependency resolution failed" any way to fix it? Installing other programs such as super tux worked just fine.

Probably, list of available software-packages
was not up-to-date.

If using Discover/"Software Center",

look at lower left corner,
and wait, util:

"No Updates"

appears (after checking for updates)

We would need more information about the error to be sure, but it is likely due to Neon having a newer Qt version than Ubuntu, and some of the things from there won't install because they are hard-coded to require the specific version Ubuntu uses.Try downloading deb packages for both of these from their respective home pages (or try snaps, appimages, or flatpack) they have new versions that should work. I know Calibre does.

You also could use 'aptitude',

select 'calibre' for installation,

and see, which dependency-resolutions
aptitude's built-in dependency-resolver
comes up with (if any).

Might work, but it will try to install an older Qt library that could/will break more things.

Grab Calibre from their website, it will be much more current (3.40 vs 3.21) and will work without any dependency issues

I discovered this problem a few weeks ago when I was upgrading one of my computers from Mint 17.3 to KDE Neon 5.15. I was installing software that I had on Mint, I came across Calibre, but got an error when I tried to install it. Investigated and saw that it needed Qt 5.9.5, but Neon is using Qt 5.12. I didn't immediately need Calibre, so I punted the issue for later (figured I could just install it into my Mint 18.3 VM if I needed it).

Came across claydoh's suggest above, and when to their website. Found the following command, which worked no problem to install Calibre 3.40.1.
Code: Select all
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin


Currently running KDE Neon 5.22.5 and 5.19.4 (with Windows 10 in a VM); migrated from Linux Mint 17.3
