I went from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1 and lost my bookmarks (and a few other things, as detailed in a message to this list some weeks back). Nothing that I wasn't prepared for (backups are a usual part of your schedule, right?) and nothing that you don't expect when using new software. ] Korganizer ate my calendar.. (Backup your .ics, actually my fault, anyone ] upgrading should always backup their .kde directory, JUST IN CASE, however it ] still should not have ate it.) That's really weird. I haven't seen any hiccups with my jedd.ics file at all under any of the upgrade scenarios. I'm using the unstable branch, but I don't see why, at a user-level, you'd lose that file. Did it rename or copy the old file? Did you look in your ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer directory to see if there's a backup? Really, you should be doing backups of all your irreplaceable data, particularly prior to a major upgrade. ] OpenOffice no longer wants to install I'd suggest this is a Debian / woody problem, not a KDE one. ] kdeaddons won't install... Not sure why.. (Actually, NOW it does, but only ] after installing kdeaddons-kfile-plugins, not sure why that didn't ] automagically work) Using apt-get install .. ? It won't automatically install new packages. I usually do 'apt-get upgrade -u' and look at all the things that won't install automatically, and then go and 'install' a few of those once the main lump's been installed, and slowly whittle down the 'can't install these yet' packages section. ] Fonts all changed.. (maybe new defaults, and didn't keep the old settings.) I haven't seen any font changes in unstable (3.2.0 -> 3.2.1 -> 3.2.2) at a user-level. I think perhaps one font changed for the default user, but not for any existing user. Perhaps that's because I'd changed the default fonts (all 7? of them) a while back for the various font-types offered in the kontrol-centre. ] Aspell no longer likes it.. I think I backed up a version? If you really want to install two-day-old KDE versions, you should probably consider moving to something more recent than a 12-month old version of Debian. unstable(sid) is really not that scary a place to be -- and you'll find more people are in that part of the world than the woody/unstablekde region, so you tend to get saner upgrades and better support. Sad, but true. ] Lost 'psi' as it needs libqt3-mt, but that will remove everything.. as we now ] use libqt3c102-mt (Strange the naming for qt3-dev-tools stayed the same) I've had a few packages that wanted to disappear and come back in another form .. but psi hasn't been one of them. ] Something replaces kdepim-libs.. I had to remove that one, it got jammed up as ] well.. Yes, libkdepim1. apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade is preferable to apt-get install's .. as a general rule, too. Jedd.
