how to install ksokoban_3.5.10-1_i386.deb for ubuntu 11.10

Asked by roland marple

I have been using ubuntu since 7.10 and ksokoban has been instalable.

 I didn't use the 11.04 edition but have always been able to install ksokoban.

 It is my favorite game to pass time when taking a break from my usual computing..

Now that I am using 11.10, I can't install this game.

Any assisstance would be appreciated

Unfortunately KDE no longer supports QT3 and KDE3. Furthermore ksokoban uses KDE3/QT3 libs, and did not update their program to QT4/KDE4. Thus it is no longer supported. Force installing the deb will also not work, as you need the full KDE3 framework, which clashes with KDE4.

It is theoretically possible to install the third party "Trinity" KDE3 fork (code maintained by non-KDE developers who want to support KDE), which would include this -- but this is quite advanced and may disrupt your install.

Thanks Marco, now that I know I will simply switch my OS back to Ubuntu 10.10
