This bug isn't valid for Jaunty, the package can be installed correctly.

I ran into a similar problem. The package "kipi-plugins" is recommended for "kphotoalbum", but its no possible to install, since the "kipi-plugins" require more recent "libkdcraw" and "libkipi" as the kphotoalbum.

So when I try to install the recommended package "kipi-plugins" for "kphotoalbum" it tries to uninstall "kphotoalbum" :-)

Maybe is possible to build "kphotoalbum" with "libkdcraw7" and "libkipi6"?

Thanks, astifter

FYI, I have built the latest snapshot of kphotoalbum for Jaunty on my PPA at https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ppa which has the dependencies fixed for kipi-plugins to be installable and working in Jaunty.

You are using newer code through this, it has a first set of changes to be more compatible to KDE4, but it seems to be stable and allows to use all the kipi-plugins for now until this bug is fixed.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

As far as I can tell kphotoalbum depends on libkipi0 and libikipi0 conflicts with libkipi6. Then since libkipi6 is part of the kubuntu-desktop task kphotoalbum is uninstallable on a Jaunty system.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

This ended up blocking a dist-upgrade for a user who had kphotoalbum installed.

[Dominik Stadler (dominik-stadler)]

As far as I see only the newer snapshots of kphotoalbum allows to compile against KDE 4 libraries and thus allows to use the version of kipi and libkipi that is included in Jaunty now. So in order to fix this, a newer version of kphotoalbum will likely be needed, then the following dependencies in debian/control allow to compile the app successfully:

Build-Depends: cdbs, debhelper (>= 5), quilt, docbook-to-man, libxt-dev,
 libxext-dev, zlib1g-dev, libqt4-dev, kdelibs5-dev, libexiv2-dev (>= 0.16),
 libkdcraw7-dev, libkipi6-dev, cmake

Same problem here.
"sudo aptitude -R install kphotoalbum" helps with the libkdcraw3-problem, but not with libkipi0 vs libkipi6.

You can also try the latest from https://edge.launchpad.net/~alessandro-ghersi/+archive/ppa - seems to work better

[Dominik Stadler (dominik-stadler)]

Karmic has all the necessary packages in correct versions, maybe this can be closed now?

[Tim McCormack (phyzome)]

Is this really "Fix Released"? I'm still running Intrepid due to massive filesystem corruption bugs in Jaunty that were a blocker to upgrades. Now that those are solved, I still can't upgrade to Jaunty, because KPA is broken there.

[Dominik Stadler (dominik-stadler)]

I have added "Intrepid Backports" as separate project to this bug to record that you would like a backport of it, this is the way launchpad handles this.

[Dominik Stadler (dominik-stadler)]

I misread the comment, Jaunty backports is meant here...

[Tim McCormack (phyzome)]

Ah, bless you, good sir.
