I was trying to investigate the kded4 high CPU load, and I started to investigate some upstream reports, even if not necessarily reported for 4.6.90.
Some such reports were related to ntrack, e.g. http://bugs.kde.org/268038 What the heck is ntrack and why do we need it? (The official description tells me exactly nothing). There is *no* ntrack in either of Mandriva or Fedora -- it's actually likely to be an Ubuntu project; either way, it's definitely *not* part of the KDE4 project, as it's hosted on https://launchpad.net/ntrack Then why the heck removing libntrack0 wants to remove *all* the KDE??? Is Mageia becoming Kubuntu? All these excessive dependencies are making me sick. Everything depends on everything. Is dynamic loading of libraries, with dynamically getting pointers to functions and using them or not, depending on availability, a mechanism that only works in Windows? Then, you'll excuse me, for the fist time in 9 days, I'll reboot into XP SP3. And I'm doing that because, after having rebooted in F15, their plasma (4.6.3) crashed on me for 3 times in 5 minutes. This is unbearable. Pissed off, R-C aka beranger
