Description Frank Griffin 2014-10-24 17:21:01 CEST

Current cauldron install fails due to 32 packages failing.  It starts with

file /usr/share/config.kcfg/kwin.kcfg from install of kwin-5.0.1-5.mga5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kdebase4-workspace-2:4.11.13-1.mga5.x86_64

and the same for /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.kde.KWin.xml.

It looks like most of the rest is fallout from either kwin or kdebase4 not being available for install.

"bug" has been broken in cauldron for a couple of months now, throwing an error about "ask_from_list: empty list", but I managed to manually copy off ddebug.log and install.log, which I'll attach here.

To reproduce, do a fresh install with English/Deutch/Espagnol/Francais/Italiano as languages and every package category checked.

Reproducible:

Known issue that the KDE packagers have on their TODO list, they just have to add proper Conflicts tags to the respective packages.  The real question here is why is your installation trying to install kwin-5.0.1 in the first place.  It shouldn't be doing that.  Maybe the logs you attached have a clue.

Possibly because I have every available desktop checked in the Package Selection dialog and one of the non-KDE ones requires it ?

Ping ?

Sorry, I forgot to update this report.

Plasma Workspaces 4 and Plasma 5 are not co-installables.
I added (26-27/10) missing conflicts in Plasma 5 packages and task-plasma5-minimal (task-plasma5-minimal 5.0.1-5 conflicts with task-kde4-minimal).

I can't do more at packaging level.

Is it still valid these changes?
