By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Robby 2013-12-24 05:17:12 CST

I have tried installing TDE 3.5.12.2, several times on Kubuntu 13.10 Saucy, I have tried through terminal, through the package manager, and through software center, every time I get the same error, "You have broken packages, TDE will not be installed". (Basically). I don't know if it's your server, the repository, or my computer, I searched Google for over two hours, finding a couple of other people with the same problem on other versions of TDE/Linux, not a lot though, so it could be in the individual install of Linux, who knows? It could just be that TDE is not compatible with 13.10, I don't know, but I wanted to report the problem just in case. I was following the instructions on http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/UbuntuBinaryInstallation 
I finally downloaded a .iso, if I have problems with it, I'll file another report. Here is a copy/paste of my latest terminal attempt. This is after adding all repository's, and the GPG key.  

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

If I recall correctly, 3.5.13.2 requires HAL. Slavek would know for sure.

Yes, 3.5.13.2 requires HAL.  R14 does not.

Comment 3 Slávek Banko 2013-12-29 11:34:13 CST

TDE 3.5.13.2 is not ready for Ubuntu Saucy. Currently not even plan to adding support for Ubuntu Saucy in TDE 3.5.13.x branch.

Comment 4 Michele Calgaro 2014-03-06 21:38:15 CST

Shouldn't we close this bug?
TDE 3.5.13.2 was released before Ubuntu 13.10 and as explained in the comments, it is basically not compatible due to the requirement for hal.
v14.0.0 does not requires hal, so it should be possible to install it on Ubuntu 13.10 (of course at the moment v14.0.0 has not yet officially released, but nightly builds are available in needed).

Now that R14.0.0 has been released, I think it is safe to close this bug report.
Marked as invalid, since the bug was raised for trying to install v3.5.13.2 on ubuntu 13.10, which was not a supported distributions for v3.5.13.2
