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 Mike Mueller 2009-02-13 03:49:34 CST 
Fresh install of Intrepid x86_64 on a Dell notebook.  I followed the installation instructions on ubuntuforums to install kubuntu-desktop-kde3.  The package manager had a couple complaints about recommendations that it couldn't complete, one of them being adept-kde3.  I installed anyway, and have a mostly working KDE 3.5 desktop.  (Unfortunately, I didn't save the initial warning messages...)

The current problem I'm facing is I'm unable to install the KDE3 version of adept and updater:

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
=========================

I also wanted to thank you for the effort you've put into this project.  It's unfortunate that the Kubuntu team has seen fit to abandon KDE 3.5 so prematurely.

This issue is basically my only problem with the current KDE 3.5 packages, any help would be appreciated!

Thank you for reporting this problem!

It looks like you can install adept-kde3 if you let aptitude remove update-notifier-kde.  This would be the correct solution, as I believe update-notifier-kde relies on the KDE4 version of Adept (Adept 2.0).

I will add update-notifier-kde as a conflict to adept-kde3, in order to make the removal process a bit cleaner.
