Re: assertion failure with new KDE packages?
I just did a dselect update/install on my machine, which is running potato plus several extra apt sources. Here is my sources.list; note especially the XFree86 4.02 packages and the 2.4 kernel support packages: [...] dpkg: /home/wichert/debian/dpkg-1.6.15/main/packages.c:191: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry = 4' failed. this basically means dependency loop. it crops up once in a while especially with how the qt packages are done... libqt2-gl replaces libqt2 libqt2-gl conflicts with libqt2 (that way libqt2 will get removed if your going from non-gl to gl...gotta make sure the next update won't reverse your decision) libqt2-gl provides libqt2 on ocasion dpkg get's confused. I've never bothered to do much more about it as it's only been reported twice (this is the second time I've heard about it)..and the first time was when I first created the -gl package and had the replaces/conflicts/provides in a different order.plus this only *seems* to be a problem with potato users...so I'm thinking the newer dpkg does a better job handling this... dunno...

can no longer log out
Since doing an apt-get update/upgrade yesterday, I can no longer log out. When I do the screen simply goes blank. I logged into a regular test console and did a ps -ef, and there were a bunch of Xreset and Xreset_0 processes running... what's more, every time I would run ps again, there would be a bunch of differect Xreset's under different process numbers! They are respawned so fast that the only thing I can do is reboot. I use potato with xfree86 3.3.6, kernel 2.2.18, and kde 2.1. I always have 2 kdm sessions running on 2 displays... in order to accomplish that a couple of the files in /etc/X11/kdm had to be modified slightly. Do note that the settup had been working just fine for quite some time before yesterday, so I don't think that it's the config files, unless they needed to be changed by yesterday's upgrade and weren't or something. Any help here would be greatly appreciated, as this is something of a major problem.

Someone please tell me I've overlooked how to increase the font size during text display and that the Konqueror developers did not overlook this important option. I've submitted bug reports about this year, and had no response, not even a you are an idiot - the option is here. When you use konqueror to view text files an external component is loaded, normally this is kwrite, also known as Advanced Editor, but it could also be kedit, if it is installed. So, if you configure kwrite to use bigger fonts then konqueror will also use bigger fonts for the embedded text display, because it shows the text using kwrite. The fonts in kwrite can be changed via the Menu Settings-Configure Highlighting where you can change the default font. If you want to change the component showing text files, you have to change the file association entry text/plain in the control center. Hope this helps. -- wfg, Chris

Well, one alternative is to just make a package claiming the dependency that you want the package system to know. Another alternative (and a bit more standard) is to use Debian's equivs package.
