Hi,
during the todays transition to plasma5, kde-standard is not installable because kde-plasma-desktop and plasma-widgets-addons are on hold.
Since i need the desktop, are there any optiobs right now instead of waiting a while. E.g. the installation of an older version of plasma- desktop?

Hi hypper
We need more information.
I have no clue what you mean by "todays transition to plasma5"
What have you been using ? kde 4 ?, kde-next ?, xfce ?, etc
As far as I know, kde-plasma-desktop and plasma-widgets-addons are not on hold unless you put them on hold.
apt-mark showhold
will show you that.
Until we have more information, we can't help.
We need to see the output of
inxi -r
please

That makes no sense because it would mean, thatr you add kde-next to your sources, but never did a dist-upgrade after that. What do you get if you try to install kde-full?

devil, i was surprised, too.
since it is my pc at work, i d-u very, very rarely. i cannot recall if i really used the kde-next for a d-u. maybe i commented the line in the source.list for whatever reasons and after the d-u i un-commented it again. i also remember that there was a time, that the kde-next repo was empty or offline at a certain stage of development?
i will try the apt install kde-full tomorrow at work.

Well, you might consider to dist-upgrade regularly at least once a week (after checking warnings on the forum) or user a stable distribution for work. The way you use it is not the way it is meant to be used and ends in errors lile yours that are hard to track because of your intervals of upgrading.

you are totally right, devil. unfortunately i can't remember when the last d-u was.
the last kernel i installed (most likely because of an d-u) before the current kernel was
ii linux-image-3.18-5.towo.3-siduction-amd64 3.18-17
maybe its a year ago.
apt install kde-full does not solve the problem. same messages.
so, what can i do. should i remove (and how?) all kde-related packages and do a fresh install of kde-standard while keeping the config-files?
-
For sure the fastest way is to save your home and reinstall from the latest dev-release. Afterwards move needed stuf from the old home over to the new one.

i expected you to say that. is there any other (not so radical) option?

Hello,
I would try following:
1. Remove kdenext repo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and refresh repos
2. try to purge step by step all kde related stuff
a) without xsession and using dpkg -l|grep xyz + apt purge)
b) under xsession and openbox, wmaker, xfce4 with using synaptic, please do not use lxqt or kde as desktopenvironements for trying this)
It can be a little bit tricky but some months ago I've removed kde stuff in a similar way with success.
Then you can repeat your try to get a propper installation of KF5 and plasma5.
Kind regards,
Holger

thanks to you all for the help.
i will do both.
i made a second partition for a clean install and i will try to recover the "old" kde-installation. so far, an installation of lxqt made the desktop working.
cheers

hypper: you can join us in oftc #siduction or #siduction-de, i'm sure we find a solution. It will be a little bit rough, but cleaning up such a system should be not the biggest problem, eventually you will learn a lot about some useful apt hacks and tricks.

thanks. if i get stuck i will do this.
