k3b not installable

Hello Sparky users,

I use Sparky Linux in a testing release.

k3b is my preferred software for cd burning.
Unfortunately I can't install or reinstall it for a lot of days. But I also can't say the exact date, since this happened.

Now I get following message, when I try to install it.

No installable version of the k3b package was found, although an entry exists in the database.
This usually indicates that the package was mentioned as a dependency but was never uploaded, that it is out of date, or that the corresponding repository is missing from Settings → Repositories.

This is the content of my sources.list.

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security/updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ trixie-security/updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ trixie-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb http://deb-multimedia.org/ trixie main non-free

What do you think, which repository is missing?
My desktop environment is MATE - ofcourse, I know, k3b needs QT-packages for running.

By the way, I have the same problem with VLC.

Can you help me?

Thank you in advance for help.

Apparently, I have no problems trying to install k3b, as you can see in this attached image.

The real problem is, that it installs a bunch of KDE crappola (158 pkgs no less) ...

VLC is already included by default on the SparkyLinux x86_64 Mate iso:

I forgot to add in my previous message, that you also have xfburn 0.7.0-1 available, in the SparkyLinux x86_64 Mate iso itself:

Hey AxL,
thank you for your answer.

Yes, k3b needs a lot of KDE packages. Maybe, in this current situation it is a good idea to deinstall all not used KDE packages and than reinstall k3b again.

I have installed xfburn too, after them I saw, that k3b not works. Xfburn also works, but for me k3b is the most convenient application. For instance, I didn't find a way to set different gaps between audio tracks on audio cd's. Yes, I still hear cd's.

Tomorrow I have more time to try some solutions. Than I write again.

Unfortunately, today wasn't enough time to try something. I hope, I can do it tomorrow.

OK, I tried something, but nothing helped.

I did following:

try to install k3b
- failed with the same result like above

try to install vlc
- some packages are not installable
- some packages should not be installed

E: Problems cannot be corrected, you have retained defective packages.
But, when I want to solve the problem, nothing happens.

Hm, what can I do to solve the problems?

Oh yes, previously I removed all unneeded packages with apt autoremove.

Thanks for for further support! :)
