I've had a nearly completely broken KDE3/3.1 installation under sid for several weeks now and have been unsuccesful at diagnosing or fixing the problem(s). This may be related to the problem reported here <http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2002/debian-kde-200210/msg00306.html> about file associations.
Most of the KDE applications crash when run. e.g., kate gives: ~>kate fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 49, expecting version 59 or higher. kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Outdated database found kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype Kate/Plugin not found KCrash: Application 'kate' crashing... ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor fcntl: Bad file descriptor kghostview will run, but then gives an error when opening PDFs; unknown mime-type application/octet-stream and then no mime types installed. And so forth. Can somehow suggest how I might return my KDE packages to a useable state, absent returning to KDE2?
