Abinash 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 I was trying to install KDE 4.1 in my mandriva 2008 free spring. I got from the Linux4u magazine of may 2008 issue. I followed the steps shown is the forum How to install kde 4.1 and now when I enter into the install softwares part and click on the KDEBASE4 options then this is the error which is shown :- Sorry, the following package cannot be selected: - kdebase4-runtime-4.1.0-1mdv2008.1.i586 (due to unsatisfied libclucene.so.0) Can anyone please help me???? What should I do???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ffi 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) the depencies are wrong in those packages, you need to manually install all the qt4 packages from that repositories but alternatively upgrade to cooker, it has kde4.1.2 and is 2009.0 final now.

ffi 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2008 I would update now, rather than later, you get 2009.0 stable and withou a heavy load on the mirrors (mirrors tend to go down or get very slow when everyone updates) You can use easyurpmi to set your sources to cooker: http://www.mandrivausers.org/easyurpmi/index.php and then set them to 2009.0 in 1-2 weeks or so But to be totally honest kde4 isn't worth the switch; if you are a happy kde3 user you would most likely be disappointed by kde4 and the state kde3 is in/will be in, in 2009.0.

Yes I can wait but there is a curiosity in me to know how thing happen in Linux and thats the sole reason for which I want to know. But if you say I will hv to wait then its perfectly fine with me. Does that mean I can not switch to KDE 4 with my current distro??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarecrow 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 Been a long time KDE fan, but I'm sorry to say that 4.1.2 is still unusable. You may give it a spin, but at your own risk. Personally, I would never consider putting it in place of my ultra-solid and highly configurable XFCE 4.4.2, or the buggy but enjoyable and visually entertaining e17 svn...
