libkcpyplug0 required - how to solve?

shruuf

Hi guys,

I’ve just updated my Ubuntu server to 20.04 LTS and indented to update Kopano, too.

However, after fetching the tarball I realised that the package libkcpyplug0 is required for the dagent but not available in the common repositories (and hence, not retrievable with apt-get -f install).

Surprisingly, this issue seems not be a new one: There are numerous topics about this matter (without a solution afaik) and even the official Administration Manual refers to this package (and alleges that it would be required for some rpm based distributions which is obviously not the entire truth).

As such: Does somebody know, how to deal with that?
Note: It seems that libkcpyplug (i.e. without the 0) is the new version of the package required by the dagent.

Hi @shruuf,

I just did a test installation on Ubuntu 20.04 and did not have problems. The package is both included in the tar archive and can also be installed without problems.

remove kopano and all related packages also.
One of them is blocking libkcpyplug due, not upgraded, or not have a “breaks” in the deb configuration.

when this happens, a packages is unable to upgrade of unable to be removed…

Make a local repo and put your deps in there and use that and install kopano again. through that repo.

the problem is, kopano lacks in the “development packages” the needed… breaks in the debian/control files is missing or not correct.

So basicly, dont install with dpkg -i *.deb

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/server:mail:kopano/kopano/debian.control?expand=1

where it goes wrong in the control file.

libkcpyplug0 is build for kopano against a specific version and thats the problem when you upgrade. i needs something like breaks > version < version.
