I can't install Kipi Plugins - Korganizer

Netrunner Netrunner Desktop 17.01
1

I am a MAUI user and I have just installed Netrunner (17.03) too.
It is a very nice Debian based distro !!!
I can’t install digikam , kipi plugins , kontakt - korganizer with package manager .
I download and run a digikam application image and it is working fine .
I don’t know if I can install the above reported applications in the future after any updates.
Any help please ?
Best Regards !

If you enable the Debian testing repo, can you install it then?

Thanks for your response !
I would prefer to wait for a normal and safe installation with the default repos without any risk.
Actually this is the second installation of netrunner 17.03 I have done.
Yesterday I did my first one and when I had the same problem with digikam , kontakt and kipi plugins I enabled the Debian testing repo and I took all the updates !!!
Ok … it was an immoderate action … Ι screwed the system up … but, I remember I could not finaly install these applications. Anyway I am just a user and not an experienced one…
Today I reinstalled the OS and I decided to be more carefull and much more patient…
Best Regards !

What exactly happened when your first system screwed up?

The system did not boot / start with the normal way , only with the recovering procedure - every time.
I remember a message (during the recovery procedure) that the root was locked (something like that).
So I decided to reinstall.

I posted a thread about an issue I had installing digikam in Netrunner Desktop 17.01, which was solved for that OS version. But seems digikam has install issues in this OS version, for me as well.

1 solution recommended & referenced in post #5 of; “[Solved] Digikam 5.3 unmet dependencies”, would be to install an appimage of digikam (http://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/). (didn’t work well for me, would freeze randomly and run slow). This may work well for other’s, like it has for you.

I too, hope this can be solved… Here’s some output, that I hope can help someone solve this.

@ Winux2000

Thank you very much for your response !
I had read in your thread about the application image solution - I didn’t know anything about these portable applications.
So , I tried the application image and it was working fine .
Anyway , I can’t work with this OS anymore because of unusual graphics problems. Perhaps it is a Graphics card minor incompatibility (nvidia gt-710).
I changed many times the compositor version for opengl (3.1 or 2.0) to found the best solution but…nothing ! The PC could work fine for hours or for minutes (!!!) and suddenly my screen was unstable or the system was freezing. (Nouveau drivers)
I wanted 2 Linux OSs in two different disks !
As my main OS I have installed MAUI (it’s the best OS today to my PC ) !
As an alternative OS I wanted to be the Netrunner but finally I had to install something else.
Best Regards !!

Digikam package issues in 17.03, due to older package dependency.

With the custom snapshot release build of Netrunner 17.03, is there a newer Digikam package in Maui, Neon or somewhere, that can be ported to Netrunner Desktop 17.03?

[align=center]Also, unable to post code without getting a spam error message for the post.[/align]

I think the problem is that digikam needs to be rebuilt against the newer marble we released with KDE Apps 16.12

A temporary workaround for the time is:

sudo apt-get install digikam libastro1=4:16.08.3-1

This will remove marble, but you should be able to install the 16.08 version from synaptic just fine.

Thanks for updating the repos! Digikam installed fine.

I also installed marble 16.08 with marble-plugins 16.08 (& locked version).
Otherwise, when you use synaptic to upgrade the system, it will upgrade marble-plugins & remove digikam.

Version lock has no effect & is unnecessary when using command line to upgrade.
My preferred & safer upgrade method.

Wonderful! You can hold back the packages with apt-mark hold to hold them back.
