How I have installed quanta plus on kde4 in debian

[Waldemar Biernacki]

Hello!

All my story is on debian command "uname -a: gets:

Linux borsuk 2.6.30-2-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Sep 25 22:16:56 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I had installedKDE 4.* (accidentally!) and decided to live in this... I can't live without quanta so I was looking for how to get it: i tried virtualbox - hmmm... not natural in using..., after some searching I have found than in debian I can try its unique solution: debian is able to manage package installation paralelly from different versions. I did it in the following way:

1. I have installed all kde4 using "apt-get install …" commands
2. When full kde 4 worked I have changed  the file: /etc/apt/sources.list:

instead normal lines: (hash-out them):
# normal:
#deb http://ftp.vectranet.pl/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
#deb-src http://ftp.vectranet.pl/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
#deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib non-free

I have added the lines:
# to install quanta from stable distr:
deb http://ftp.vectranet.pl/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.vectranet.pl/debian/ stable main non-free contrib

saved changes and normal stuff (be carefull not to change KDE 4 but I had no dangerous warnings):
apt-get update
apt-get install quanta

(maybe other packages which apt-get require - I do not remember). Since then I have quanta plus on kde 4. All works but without sftp which is for me the most important (apart of local :) ), but works! Then I changed sources.list file to the previous version, then did apt-get update again and then blocked in synaptic this quanta plus packages (not to be accidentally changed).

Quanta works this way since spring this year as a every-day tool for perl, php, sql, TeX, html, css, haskel, and other types. I have recently got the information that the package kdebase-kio-plugins is responsible for the sftp protocol. So I did again all the stuff but with the followin command :

apt-get install kdebase-kio-plugins

Now I have quanta plus with my favorite remote protocol sftp.

I hope it could be usefull for someone.

Regards.
Waldemar

I don't know how you managed to get this to work. I have done exactly
what you did, and get the following:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
quanta: Depends: libcvsservice0 (>= 4:3.5.9-1) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: kfilereplace (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.3.0-1 is to be installed
Depends: klinkstatus (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.3.0-1 is to be installed
Depends: kommander (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.3.0-1 is to be installed
Recommends: kxsldbg (= 4:3.5.9-3) but 4:4.3.0-1 is to be installed

I'll be looking for something else until Eric can produce something. The
coding is way beyond me, and I don't have that kind of time anyway.
Using OpenOffice or Emacs or Vim for this doesn't cut it.

I'm glad for you that you got it working.

Cheers

Cam

You should consequently replace newer packages by the older ones. Be carryful not to delete some dependence and important packages (like kde4 :) ). To answer Your question and to be really sure what I am talking about :) I've just finished full debian installation procedure (from ISO images with KDE3.5) I did it on virtualbox VM and everything passed well. I did not obtain your messages (I in fact I did them them in the past - previous installation - I suspect the difference is becouse other way of upgrading kde) - now I got only massage about lack of the package libcvsservice0 (>=4:3.5.9-1) which I had to install before quanta. Everything went well and quanta works well. After that do not forget to install protocols:

apt-get install kdebase-kio-plugins

It MUST work!
===============

I used ISO images from:
ftp://ftp.vectranet.pl/debian-cd/5.0.3/i386/iso-cd/debian-503-i386-kde-CD-1.iso

How to exchange kde3.5 with kde4 I followed:
http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde4.html

After that I put
apt-get install quanta

and it complains about not installed libcvsservice0 so I did install it and then again:
apt-get install quanta

and

apt-get install kdebase-kio-plugins

wb.
