Public bug reported:
This is solely a packaging bug, but it's the root cause of a lot of bugs
for users with the Kubuntu PPAs. Three more packages are required to be
managed in a PPA fashion:
- Akonadi. Oneiric features 1.6.2. That release causes trouble with the
Akonadi-Nepomuk Feeder present in KDE 4.8 RC2. Mail can't be indexed properly.
KDE SC 4.8 requires Akonadi 1.6.90, but that release is not provided through
Kubuntu PPAs.
- Strigi. Oneiric features 0.7.6. There is a 0.7.7 release fixing the indexing
of compressed streams and improving a bit performance. Although no bugs are
caused by it missing, Kubuntu would benefit greatly from an updated Strigi
package in their PPAs.
- Soprano. Oneiric features 2.7.0. That release can't index Nepomuk elements
properly, without leaking memory in dbus-daemon. All the dbus-daemon memory
leak scenarios were fixed in Soprano 2.7.4, but I can't find that release in
Kubuntu PPAs.
Without the proper management of those packages, Kubuntu users will get
a subpar Nepomuk and Akonadi experience, and will suffer from bugs,
memory leaks and performance losses.
