KDE-utils-KGpg missing on one PC, present on another.
« on: September 21, 2012, 06:40:35 AM »
Dear group, I have one PC with a brand new install of the latest PcLinux, i also have another PC with a 2011 install.  On the new install i have downloaded KGpg which is the frontend for GPG.  On the PC with the 2011 install this item is not present in the repos.  I have the same repo selected on both PCs.  Is there any way that i can download this item from the Repositories please.

Thank you very much

Is the 2011 install running KDE 4.8?

Aaah!  Since the update to 4.8.x the following was changed

Synaptic > Settings > Repositories > Section(s) field, was changed from kde4 to kde

which is why probably why you can't see the kde-utils-kgpg package.

If you switch to kde and do a reload you should see it BUT please remember most (if not all) kde stuff has been migrated for KDE 4.8x so dependency issue(s) - and possibly further problems - may arise by installing kgpg (that's if the install can even be done)

Any other apps that may appear to need updating would most likely cause problems as well.

I see, i changed the KDE4 to KDE in Synaptic and did a search for KGpg and found it.  I marked it for install and a whole long list appeared of other items that had to be removed, so i chickened out.

Would i be best trying to update to the new KDE version do you think?

If you wish to keep your system in sync with the repo mirrors, you don't have a lot of choice. As always, first upgrade your already installed system, then add any new application installations you wish.

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?
