can't install kubuntu-desktop

[Lech Jabłoński]

lm-sensors depend on libsensors5 which depend on libsensors-config which conflict with libsensors4 which is hard dependency for multiple packets. Entire thing is based upon the bug Bug#917202: lm-sensors: Ability to install both libsensors4 and libsensors5?

[Lech Jabłoński (jablonskilech)]

Debian Bug report logs - #915873
libsensors-config: removal of libsensors-config makes files disappear from libsensors4
version graph

Seriously, why is Aurelien Jarno breaking everything ?

[Lech Jabłoński (jablonskilech)]

And if the bug is fixed, why there is still conflict between libsensors-config and libsensors4?

HI Lech,
the situation you described is in upcoming Ubuntu 19.04

But in the meantime libsensors4 is not more published there (this was a library transition with Debian bug #915873 being an issue. This was finalized and fixed by [1]

I tested in a container and can install kubuntu-desktop just fine.

Furthermore there are no dependencies to libsensors4 (which was a requirement to remove it from the archive anyway).

$ reverse-depends libsensors4 -r disco
reverse-depends: Error: <p>Package not published in specified release</p>
