Hello,

I upgraded to KDE 4.2 yesterday, which worked quiet good (on a Kubuntu 8.10 system using the PPA repository).
But to compile Digikam I need to install kdelibs5-dev.

But

Code: Select all

 apt-get install kdelibs5-dev


aborts with the error message

Code: Select all

Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pcre3/libpcrecpp0_7.8-2ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa1_i386.deb  Size mismatch
Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pcre3/libpcre3-dev_7.8-2ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa1_i386.deb  Size mismatch


Anyone has any idea how I can fix this?

Thanks, Malte.

I'm having the same problem.
Although I'm trying to install kdenetwork-dev which also relies on pcre3-dev

The only fix I know of is to have the repo maintainers put the right package in the repo (this error is caused when the package in the repo is not the same size as is listed and therfore apt won't install it).

There is a workaround.
Download directly both files with wget :

Code: Select all

wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pcre3/libpcrecpp0_7.8-2ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa1_i386.deb
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pcre3/libpcre3-dev_7.8-2ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa1_i386.deb


and install them directly with dpkg :

Code: Select all

dpkg -i http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pcre3/libpcrecpp0_7.8-2ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa1_i386.deb
dpkg -i http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pcre3/libpcre3-dev_7.8-2ubuntu1~intrepid1~ppa1_i386.deb


You can then go on with apt-get install kde-devel.

OK, that worked.

Thanks a lot!!!
