Problem upgrading to 9.10 using the repository in Ubuntu

Hi,

I wanted to use the provided repository (deb.opera.com) because in theory that makes upgrading easier right? Instead of installing manually. But I'm having some trouble getting 9.10.

alucard@solo:~$ sudo apt-get -V  upgrade
[...]
The following packages have been kept back:
   opera (9.02-20060919.6 => 9.10-20061214.5)
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Not very helpful message eh? So I try just an install:

alucard@solo:~$ sudo apt-get install opera
[....]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  opera: Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.2.1) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

Okay..

alucard@solo:~$ sudo apt-get install libqt3c102-mt
[...]
Package libqt3c102-mt is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libqt3-mt
E: Package libqt3c102-mt has no installation candidate

alucard@solo:~$ sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt
[...]
libqt3-mt is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

. . . ?

Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu edgy-commercial main

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-updates main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu edgy-security main restricted universe multiverse

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free

It is trying to get Opera from deb.opera.com (I tried commenting out the deb.opera.com line and apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, and it didn't know of anything to upgrade).

So.. any suggestions?

1- You are trying to upgrade from a testing .deb package (.6) to a stable one (.5). That's probably what triggers the dependency issue.The stable repo only provides .5 versions. Add the testing repo to sources.list or via synaptic:

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ etch non-free

This way you can upgrade to the .6 package.

2-It's recommended to run update before upgrade, try this:

sudo apt-get check

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

o.O I am? Thank you, I will try that when I turn my laptop on next.

Edit: It worked, thank you very much.

(And I was making sure to update every time I changed my sources.list).
