Comment 29 for bug 615902

I have managed to update successfully, but it wasn't a smooth or pleasant experience. It required several repetitions of "aptitude -f full-upgrade" to do it, similar to Alvin's experience in #17. In addition to the usual libqt4-assistant issue, the kubuntu-dev-tools package also had to be removed because it depends on kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4, which is a transitional package that shouldn't be needed anymore and was therefore not included in the update.

I notice a couple other comments mention the libqt4-phonon package causing problems: that's another transitional package that is unfortunately still listed as a dependency by some other packages. In my case it was pulled in by plasma-widget-bkodama; since I wasn't using that widget anyway, I simply removed the problem package ahead of time.

After reboot, my plasma activities were messed up and had to be reconstructed, and the notification area misbehaved a bit at first, but I think that has more to do with the redesign of the software than the packaging.
