Ubuntu 20.04.2 focal fossa.

My goal is to install the KDE debug symbols via mk-build-deps.

To do this i have created a text file named source-control with the following content:

Source: my-kde-dbg-symbols

Then i have run sudo mk-build-deps --install source-control

However, i receive this error:

Running dpkg -l | grep glib shows that i have version 2.64.2-1ubuntu0.1 of glib-networking installed.

I do not know how to make it accept the currently installed version as a proper one. As it can be seen from the content of my source-control file i have not placed any restrictions for the version, which means they are placed by mk-build-deps. I have no idea why it decides to require version 2.64.1-1 @un uH or whether this is a valid version at all.

The problem is not in mk-build-deps, but in the dependencies.

What i did was that i tried to apt install all of the packages from my source-control file. This revealed the real issue:

glib-networking-dbgsym : Depends: glib-networking (= 2.64.1-1) but 2.64.2-1ubuntu0.1 is to be installed

This occurs because focal-updates has a newer version than focal, which is used by default. So i did apt install glib-networking-services=2.64.1-1 which showed that while glib-networking was going to be downgraded, that was also going to remove A LOT of packages that are critical for the plasma-desktop, so i aborted trying to install it.

Fortunately for me in this specific situation I managed to reduce the amount of Build-Dependencies for me enough so that none of the packages that had to be installed had conflicts.
