[Steve Beattie]

Binary package hint: wlassistant

wlassisstant is uninstallable, as it depends on the dropped kicker package:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Other possible packages that look like they might be useless without
kicker despite not having an explicit dependency therein include:

  kicker-khalkhi - Khalkhi powered applet for KDE Kicker
  ftpmonitor - Kicker applet to monitor incoming connections to ftp daemon
  kima - kicker monitoring applet

Thanks!

Khalkhi* is unusable without the kicker applet, which requires kicker pretty much.
khalkhi, khalkhiapplet and khalkhicards binary and source should be removed from Intrepid.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

ftpmonitor only contains a kicker applet.
Binary and source should be removed from Intrepid.

Kaquarium only contains a kicker applet.
Binary and source should be removed from Intrepid.

Wlassitant is unmaintained upstream and does not build with current Intrepid scons => not worth the effort.
Binary and source package should be removed from Intrepid.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Kblogger only contains a kicker applet.
Binary and source should be removed from Intrepid.
