Package: kde-config-touchpad
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
"System Settings - KDE crash handler" is viewed when clicked to "Touchpad"
section on the "input devices" from the KDE "System Settings". This issue has
been solved as in the following address
http://forum.pardus.net.tr/index.php?topic=95.0. In this site it is said that
there is a bug in the kde-config-touchpad package and
"touchpadinformationwidget.ui" file is searched as
"touchpadInformationwidget.ui" because of a letter mistake and for this reason
it can not be found, it gives error and breaks down. As a solution, the
following commands are given:
cd /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/synaptiks/kde/widgets/ui
sudo ln -s
../../../../../../../share/pyshared/synaptiks/kde/widgets/ui/touchpadinformationwidget.ui
touchpadInformationwidget.ui
When the commands above are activated the breakdown problem disapperas. But,
although I have made the "tapping" settings touchpad and tapping processing do
not occur. This problem is removed when this solution is used in some different
computers. But in my Acer 5920G laptop this problem continues. In addition, the
problem never occurs in GNOME system settings.

Version: 0.8.1-2+rm
src:synaptiks was last released with Debian 8 (jessie)
in April 2015 and has been removed from the Debian archive afterwards.
It has been superseded by plasma-desktop and transitional packages for
kde-config-touchpad have been provided by src:plasma-desktop in the
subsequent stretch and buster releases, but these are now gone as well.
See https://bugs.debian.org/794256 for details on the removal.
After regular security support for jessie ended in June 2018 and LTS
support ended in June 2020, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
Andreas
