I have been trying to install Okular and Kile after my OS upgrades itself from 14.04
to 16.04
. However, I get the following error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
okular : Depends: libokularcore7 (= 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kde-runtime (> 4:4.10) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libkio5 (>= 4:4.14) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libkparts4 (>= 4:4.14) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libkprintutils4 (>= 4:4.14) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I tried to use aptitude
to install again, and this is what it tells me:

Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
25) kdelibs5-plugins recommends kde-runtime
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
Upon accepting this solution by choosing Y
, still nothing gets solved.
From my tiny understanding, I think that the problem might arise from this line as cited by aptitude
:
25) kdelibs5-plugins recommends kde-runtime
However, I am not sure and indeed I do not really know what is going on. The hunch is that the problem is kde
-related.
I really appreciate any help you guys can extend to me. Thank you!

It looks like you need to uninstall
libclucene-core1
, as it conflicts withlibclucene-core1v5
, and the latter is required in order to install Okular.
