Hi,
after the debian's switch to GCC 5 kdenext was updated today providing new KDE packages. So right now there is:
KDE Frameworks 5.14
Plasma 5.4.1
KDE Applications 15.08.1 (except for kdepim which is 4.14.x, previous one was 4.4.x)
So, assuming you have kdenext in your sources.list:
What is suposed to work out of the box:
1) dist-upgrading with apt (not aptitude) from a siduction KDE with kdenext last upgraded
before July 31 2015 (date of the debian/ubuntu switch to GCC 5)
2) dist-upgrading with apt (not aptitude) a fresh new indiansummer installation following the instructions
https://community.kde.org/Plasma/InstallingNext#siductionWhat is, probably, NOT going to work out of the box:
3) dist-upgrading now from a siduction KDE last upgraded
after July 31 (date of the debian/ubuntu switch to GCC 5)
What is NOT going to work:
4) dist-upgrading with aptitude from a siduction KDE last upgraded
after July 31 (date of the debian/ubuntu switch to GCC 5). The reason for this is that after the GCC 5 transition many package libraries had to be renamed from libfooX to libfooXv5 where libfooXv5 conflicts with libfooXv5 because they share the same files (example
https://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xapian-core/news/20150802T172039Z.html). This is a very undesirable situation because it confuses package managers (they have problems to figure out that libfooXv5 is a replacement for libfooX). It was feasible to tweak some packages to make it work properly with apt, but not feasible for aptitude.
So if you find issues or have doubts please post:
- Here if you are in case 1) 2) and 3) for KDE issues not related to kdepim
- In this other thread if you are in case 1) 2) and 3) and you have issues specific of kdepim (http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=5800.0)
- For the case 4) just use apt this time. You can continue to use aptitude if you like it more after dist-upgrading today. However remember that apt is the recommended package manager for siduction.
If you are in other case such as not having kdenext in your sources.list please post somewhere else. As a friendly reminder, we have subforums for software support:
