Hi all,

I need your advice. I tried to update my 12.04 machine through the PPA
repository to KDE 4.8.3 but I have the below 32 packages kept back (i.e. not
upgraded). Is this normal? Should I upgrade the other upgradable packages or
else? Thanks,
gk

The following packages have been kept back:
kde-window-manager kde-window-manager-common kde-workspace kde-workspace-bin
kde-workspace-data kde-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdm kinfocenter ksysguard
ksysguardd libkdecorations4 libkephal4abi1 libkscreensaver5 libksgrd4
libksignalplotter4 libkwineffects1abi3 libkwinglutils1 libkwinnvidiahack4
libkworkspace4abi1 libplasma-geolocation-interface4 libplasmaclock4abi3

Did you install the upgrades with

sudo apt-get upgrade

or

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

?

Try again, but this time with dist-upgrade. 4.8.3 installed without incident
on both my laptops using this method.

Thanks.Â* What is the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade?

apt-get upgrade will upgrade you to newer package versions, but *not* install
new ones (new kernel, etc)

Dist-upgrade does this plus installs any new packages, say a new kernel
version, or perhaps a new dependency one of the packages needs.

Ubuntu's packaging, and Kubuntu's KDE updates from the ppa in particular, are
geared towards the dist-upgrade method as there are often new or renamed
items that go with the new software.

(...sending again, omitted the list in my response...)

In my experience, "dist-upgrade" is more complete than "upgrade," because it
can handle cases where dependencies bring in new packages that don't already
exist.

For example, say you currently have package foo:1.0 installed. foo:1.0 has no
dependencies. Now it's time to upgrade to foo:1.1, and this version has a new
dependency on bar:0.9. "apt-get upgrade" will hold foo back, because bar is
currently not installed on your machine. "apt-get dist-upgrade" includes a
dependency resolver and will not only upgrade foo:1.0 to foo:1.1 but also
install bar:0.9.

for an upgrade of KDE dist-upgrade should not be necessary as it does
not involve kernel etc. I did mine via normal upgrade and all went well.


I suspect a problem with local mirrors or some earlier upgrade not
completed.

Incorrect, as upgrading to KDE 4.8.3 requires a couple of new packages to be
installed. A stock setup may not require it, but it is quite possible some
added KDE bits may need some.
