Bug Description

francis@ubuntu:~ $ sudo apt-get install libkcal2
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package libkcal2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libkcal2 has no instaillation candidate

Problem here is that another package depends on this one, which depends on another
package, which eventually hinders the installation of kde-devel, so it's mildly
annoying.

This package seems to be obsolete; if there is a package which depends on it,
the bug probably lies in that package.

Ok. For the record, the package is kbugbuster:

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:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  kbugbuster: Depends: libkcal2 (>= 4:3.3.2) but it is not installable

kbugbuster is in universe, and so not officially supported...it's up to the
Kubuntu team to decide whether it's appropriate to promote it to main or not

OK -- but even packages in Universe should not be left in an uninstallable state, especially when
Debian already has a fix.

kbugbuster in Ubuntu depends on libkcal2 which is a nonexistent library. kbugbuster in Debian
depends on libkcal2a which is a library that exists in both Debian and Ubuntu.

Solution is either to create a libkcal2 library, or to revert to the Debian package dependencies
so that, either way, kbugbuster depends on an existing library.

this will be fixed with new sdk, reassigning it to me, cause i'm
working on it.

Dependency problem no longer here, and kde-devel is now installable. Thanks.
