I would be pleased if bugs in the overall modified build process can be reported or if everything is functional now (S/MIME, OpenPGP). Especially pinentry-qt is of interest as it is a Qt frontend which fits best on KDE :-) lintian(1) picks up quite a few bugs and policy violations and would be worth going over the packages with.

[rn's debs] kdelibs overwrite problem
Ralf, Thanks for your continual updates... There is an overwrite problem between kdelibs4 and libkdefakes4. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs4_4%3a3.1.0-0woody2_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libkdefakes.so.4.1.0', which is also in package libkdefakes4 Unfortunatly there is no easy way out of this as trying to remove libkdefakes4 is not possible without removing kdelibs4 and the rest of KDE :-( The only way out, short of uninstalling all of KDE and reinstalling is to --force-overwrite: dpkg -i --force-overwrite kdelibs4_4%3a3.1.0-0woody2_i386.deb Which is not recommended for the faint hearted.

RN's debs noatun mp3 problem
Hi, I'd like to thank Ralf for his great work on the KDE 3.1 debian packages. I've encountered one small problem regarding noatun. The mp3 playback seems not to work correctly (at least on my system - maybe someone can verify this). noatun spills out the track with many errors. Playback of wav files works though... Nikolaus

Just note that the artswrapper application need to be SUID root, for playback not to skip. If you have a very fast CPU it might work anyway. I have an installation question for this, but I don't think that the official debian destribution have. So if playback skips, that's the remedy. And possibly a potential security hole. Karolina

Have a bit of an issue upgrading to your latest version: Likely a Replaces/ Conflicts issue. Removing koffice-libs first and then installing again overcomes the issues. apt-get remove koffice-libs apt-get install kword kspread This is probably because I had the wrong version number on koffice, or changed it at some time, and you didn't get the update after that problem. Anyway, I don't expect many to upgrade that way, and you have found the solution, so I don't think it is worth fixing it. Karolina
problems with KDE CD-R(W) Watcher Monitors CD-R(W) Drives Media
Hi everyone, this is just in case someone has the same problem I had. I am not sure if something needs to be done about it or not, ie. if it's a bug or not. I have a problem with the KDE start-up service KDE CD-R(W) Watcher Monitors CD-R(W) Drives Media I am using Ralf's latest .deb packages. This service is running by default, and if it does, it causes the kernel to print the following message into the syslog and the kernel ring buffer, at a speed of around 100 lines per minute. kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! I have an scsi DVD drive and an scsi cd writer which never caused problems before. I am not sure which of the discs the message refers to. Whatever is causing these messages to be printed also seems to interfere adversely with cd-burning: sometimes the CD can't be fixated and cdrecord just loops (using X-CD Roast), something which I have never observed before upgrading to KDE 3.1. I can kill cdrecord then, but the scsi cd writer just disappeares from the scsi bus then and I have to restart my computer to get it to be recognised again (also something which I never had to do before, and I had it for more than 2 years now). Stopping the service in Settings - Control Center - KDE Components - Service Manager - Startup Services seems to get rid of the problem. Cheers -Tim

No. The following thing happened (unfortunately): In an attempt to clean up ktown's master ftp directories, the Debian packages came under fire by Dirk Müller :-/ and he removed the 3.0.4 and 3.0.5 directories for i386 in woody, replacing them with symlinks in the respective directories pointing to 3.0.5a. I didn't know that until people started to write me that they can't retrieve the qt packages for installing 3.0.5a. After the second mail I had a look today and discovered the mess - I had made symlinks to the qt and kde-i18n packages from 3.0.5a to the 3.0.5 directories. This means that those package sets got erased completely and unfortunately enough, I didn't have a backup of the whole set. What I did now was uploading a qt set that I had that has xft enabled; which is the cause for your update of Qt. The feature that it adds is that you can use antialiased text fonts (mind that you need XRENDER enabled in your xfree driver, if 4.1 doesn't work you may want to upgrade to 4.2.1 anyway, there's woody debs available). This was the easiest way to fix this issue. The kde-i18n packages are just copied from the 3.0.4/sid/i386/kde-i18n package set (not much difference anway). I'm sorry that I didn't notify anyone earlier.

New packages changes
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've uploaded a new set of kde-i18n packages, new kdelibs package and some other utilities this week like guarddog and kbear, today someone on IRC asked me for rosegarden so I added that too (though it's build with arts support, not alsa support - if you like it different for performance reasons, please speak up :-) There's three things that I changed in addition: 1. pinentry updated - pinentry-qt had a problem with setting the DISPLAY variable, Steffen Hansen sent us a patch that I merged in. The .orig.tar.gz from the sources is the same, the diff.gz contains the patch as a separate diff file and has, after retrieving and applying the diff.gz with apt-get source, the patch applied. Please test pinentry-qt if that works now for you. 2. I also added a ChangeLog lately that I try to keep up-to-date with what I add, so you can look for yourself if you see something interesting. 3. The last addition is a file md5sum.txt in kde/woody which has the md5sums of my i386 and source directories on my build machines. This may help to verify if your packages are the same ones as they are on my machine to ensure that you're on the safe side with the sources and the packages that you retrieve, especially regarding security issues and the aegypten crypto-packages. NB: if you have any other Qt/KDE 3 package that isn't included in i386/applications yet which you think is useful and would like to have a package for, please notify me.
