The update I installed via Discover on 19 Feb removed KMyMoney and now I can't re-install it. Also can't install it on a fresh installation of neon user edition. There seems to be a dependency problem:

I ran into this myself when I updated a couple days ago. The solution is to comment out the lines about

Code: Select all

libgwenhywfar

in

Code: Select all

/etc/apt/preferences.d/99-focal-overrides

. That overrides file is provided by the neon-settings-2 package, and I think it was the last update of that package that broke things.

I found the same problem also on a test install. However I now always use the KMM appimage which can be downloaded via the KMM homepage. This is constantly updated and so does not run into problems like this.

Make the downloaded app executable and you're good to go.
(I use appimages for digiKam, KMM, LibreOffice, Strawberry and others - all in an appimage folder).

Thanks for the advice guys, I also found that aptitude was able to resolve the dependency problem. But just now (20 Feb 18:01) I received an update to the neon-settings-2 package which has resolved the problem. 😁

Hi,

This happened to me also. KMyMoney was removed by the KDE Neon update (Discover) on 21st. KMyMoney is also not available for re-install in Discover.
I have today updated all packages (with Discover) and my neon-settings-2 is Version: 0.4+p20.04+git20210220.1700. KMyMoney is still uninstallable via Discover.
If someone has this resolved through package updates I would be interested in knowing package versions required.

I am using KDE Neon 5.21 User Edition.

This is kind of annoying issue for an average user. Applications should not just disappear.

I'm running KDE neon 5.21 User Edition as my main OS.

I just had kmymoney removed during this afternoons update to my system. I don't use Discover (POS in my opinion). In fact, I don't use a package manager for system maintenance at all. I do all my package management from the CLI. After kmymoney was removed, I installed it (again) from the CLI:

sudo apt install kmymoney

It installed without any issue, which of course begs the question: Why did it have to be removed at all during the update?

• The previous update to the neon-settings-2 package contained a mis-configured/outdated/incorrect apt preference file.
• This new config is not read until the next time the system is checked for updates.
• The next time updates are checked, the new config is read
• Then, the incorrect info causes the dependency problem, prompting for the removal of KMyMoney.

Then, in the more recent update:

• A new version of neon-settings-2 is released
• This gets installed the next time the system is updated
• However, the corrected preference file included in it does not get read until the next time the system is checked for updates. i.e; you cannot change apt's settings while apt is running.
• KMyMoney is still prompted for removal, as the new preference setting is not in effect yet.

So, KMM is removed, and can be reinstalled after the update as the broken config and the dependency it created is fixed. Sucks, but afaik the only way to do it, if the user does not know about the bad config ahead of time.

Just, ahem, normal apt and dpkg stuff.
Discover has zero to do with anything here as it is still using apt/dpkg on Debian-like systems.

Thanks for the discussion and tips.
I found the same issue after a recent update.
KMyMoney is working again.
