Fatal error: Error while installing package: dependency problems - leaving unconfiguredings

because of this issue I can not go to 24.04

KDE neon Rebased on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Did you follow the tips I gave alan1 above? There may be held back apps. Doing a dist-upgrade may break things badly, so if doing a listing of held apps shows anything, then I recommend updating them one at a time to see what gets broken. Most should be OK, but they is often one that may be causing the others to be held back as well. sudo apt list --upgradeable if anything shows up then one at a time do: sudo apt install --upgrade-only (app name as listed) If one looks likes its going to bre…

[claydoh]

Pkcon hides the important stuff when it runs apt, so use apt directly to see what the full errors are:

sudo apt update
then
sudo apt full-upgrade

This will also show which packages (if any ) are being ‘phased’ by Ubuntu.

[nevs55]

I get this with ‘sudo apt update’

[alioth9]

Not during the full upgrade but I had a dependency problem with plasma5support recently.
I remove it and some dependency and reinstall. It was blocking an upgrade (small one not the rebase).
It was brought by the 6.1 → 6.2 upgrade I think

[alioth9]

In fact the problem seems that plasma-workspace and its dependancy plasma5support conflict in the upgrade process.
here what I did:

sudo apt dowload plasma-workspace
sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=plasma5support -i plasma-workspace

and then

sudo apt download plasma5support
sudo dpkg -i plasma5support

finally finish the upgrade

[nevs55]

Thanks everyone. Issue has been fixed. @alioth9 I tried your steps was still get errors.

I feel what fixed it was running ‘apt clean’, but I am not 100%.

However it happened, it’s fixed and able to run upgrades not. In the process of do a upgrade to 24.04

[rikshaw]

@alioth9 thank you, your guidance got me over the hump, I was facing the same dependency hell loop (upgrading plasma-workspace conflicted with plasma5support, but also depended on plasma5support). One syntax correction, however, for anyone getting stuck like I was trying to do that: the --ignore-depends must precede the -i plasma-workspace<tab> (must <tab> to get the filename you just downloaded. So like this in the end:

sudo apt dowload plasma-workspace
sudo dpkg --ignore-depends=plasma5support -i plasma-workspace<tab>

Then there is no need to download and locally install plasma5support with dpkg, you can just do a pkcon update after that, it will upgrade it. If you had removed plasma5support you can just apt install plasma5support after you have plasma-workspace upgraded and then proceed with pkcon update.

@nevs55 that should answer the issue you had following the steps.

Thanks again! now upgrading then moving to noble!
