K3b Install Error

[Jocklad]

Ok I know....I Know. K3b pulls in dependencies from all over the place.

But I still like to use it for burning and ripping.

Had no problem with 2.2 but 2.4 keeps throwing up errors with sudo apt-get install K3b as below:

ben@ben-Calistoga-ICH7M-Chipset:~$ sudo apt-get install K3b

Open up Install/Remove Software, you can remove broken packages in there.

Thanks Jerry but no Joy.

Also tried setting packages to default in Tweaks but same install error.

Give some of the commands a go in this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=947124

Thanks Jerry but still getting same errors.

Think I will leave this now until 2.6 is released and do a clean install.

Did a clean install of LL 2.6.

K3b installed no problem at all 

Will mark this as solved.

Many thanks to you all.

Hello!

Glad you got it all sorted out.

I am not a big KDE fan, but I needed TV software, so I installed Kaffeine. Out of the very few choices Linux offers for such software, sadly, it seems to be the best option available...
