Re: Heads-up: KDE4 hitting testing tonight (UTC)
+ Jonathan Kaye (Mon, 18 May 2009 15:15:27 +0200): Yes, but sadly 4.2 is not hitting squeeze all at once. I got about 6 4.2 upgrades today with the results that a lot of my kde apps are no longer functional. The menu items along with their associated icons are gone: kpat, amarok, k3b are 3 of many apps to be affected. I guess this will get sorted in a couple of days but WHY?!? would they release packages piecemeal this way? We migrated most of the packages that were available for KDE4 already, and those available but that didn't migrate (like eg. kphotoalbum) are to follow soon. But for example k3b and amarok have not migrated to KDE4 yet in unstable, so it's impossible to have them in testing. Amarok has a KDE4 version in experimental, and it being there probably means the maintainer thinks KDE4 users are still better off with the KDE3 version, since the KDE4 one is probably unstable. Regarding kpat, if you still have the KDE3 version after upgrading, then you did not fully upgrade, since it was included in the initial migration to testing AFAICR.

Yes, k3b and amarok are still the 3.5 versions, but yes, they do work and do show up in the menu. Yakuake was broken however, I took the sid version and installed that one.

Great job, but... ... is it possible that there are a few »Replaces« missing? Like »systemsettings replaces kcontrol«? ... is it a aptitude bug or a problem with the version numbers/epochs of the packages, that some packages would be removed because of unmet dependencies event though there is a new package which fits? (like kdm, kwin, ...) At least on my system aptitude reported a lot of broken packages and wanted to remove a hell of a lot of such packages. But I could figure it out manually, so no harm done. ... kaboom's backup functionality is somewhat dubious? Because for me it wasn't possible to backup some data like the album covers and settings of amarok, which led eventually to the point, were I needed to reconfigure amarok and feed it the covers again (form a manual backup). Anyway, I don't want to sound like a complainer and I'm not sure, the above issues are even grave enough for a bug report of minor severity. For me they aren't, but I guess, that should be improved until squeeze is released. So again: thanks for all the work! I love the new KDE and hopefully will continue to do so in the next weeks, when I've worked with it a little bit. ;) Kind regards, Kai -- Kai Wasserbäch (Kai Wasserbaech) E-Mail: deb...@carbon-project.org Jabber (debianforum.de): Drizzt URL: http://wiki.debianforum.de/Drizzt_Do%27Urden GnuPG: 0xE1DE59D2 0600 96CE F3C8 E733 E5B6 1587 A309 D76C E1DE 59D2 (http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de/pks/lookup?search=0xE1DE59D2fingerprint=onhash=onop=vindex) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Sjoerd Cheers, Jonathan No Sjoerd, You misunderstood me (or I'm misunderstanding you). They show up in the kde menu ok but the menu of the application itself (or rather the icons of menu items) don't show up. Most apps are functioning except for the games which don't function at all (at least not the card games).

Cheers, Thanks to the upstream maintainers - first blush caught me by surprise: I was wondering what the Akonadi server was doing until I realised that it was migrating kmail and korganizer. Anyway, so far so good. I seem to have lost some icons but other than that, (touch wood) no other probs. Thanks again folks!
