Kdegraphics-okular has as one dependency ebook-tools, ebook-tools has as dependency convertlit which is only in the community-repo
If a user (like me) has only the core and the extra repo activated he can't install kdegraphics-okular because of unresolvable dependencies

Why can't you active [community] ?
Comment by Martin Stromberger (Fabiolla) - Tuesday, 06 December 2011, 11:48 GMT
Well, activation of community is general possible - until now core and extra solved all my needs
It looks like the no other user has this problem, please close the report (I'll add convertlit to my local repository)

[community] is actived by default in pacman.
It looks like the no other user has this problem, I guess that users use [community].

we used to have this rule that say we can't have dependencies in other repos.

for example core packages does not depend on extra packages.

extra packages does not depend on community etc.

Move that package in extra.

OK, I'll move it as soon as possible.
