I finally got a large chunk of free time with which to fix bugs. Therefore: * Bugzilla ( http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net ) is now back online, so bugs can be reported there instead of to this list * All of the below should be fixed * kvirc-kde3 is now in the repository Please let me know if there are other issues/requests for Karmic! (I might even consider KDE feature requests...send those to this list). Timothy Pearson KDE3.5 Maintainer > Yes, they are indeed fixed! Thanks a lot! I came across a few more > issues though. When I install kubuntu-desktop-kde3 it also brings in > some KDE4 packages. I was able to figure out some causes and a few other > things: > > The control file of kde-style-qtcurve-kde3 I think should have a line: > Provides: kde-style-qtcurve > Right now it will trigger the install of gtk2-engines-qtcurve which > depends on kde-style-qtcurve which is the KDE4 package. > I think that many things may work better if such lines (provides with > the package name without -kde3 appended) would be added to all packages. > I also had a problem before where AcetoneISO was looking for konqueror > and did not like my konqueror-kde3 although it works fine with it. When > packages would need the KDE4 versions, they'll specify a specific > minimum version anyhow, so I think adding such a line would not break > anything. > > Another small issue is kdebase-kde3 recommending kdm instead of > kdm-kde3. Changing this seems to prevent kdm from getting installed. > > foomatic-db-hpijs is recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3 but has been > replaced by foomatic-db. > > apport-qt and openoffice.org-kde are recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3 > but they both depend on KDE4 libraries. Similarly hplip-gui is > recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3 but is uses libqt4. > > Some of the recommended packages aren't available for me: > kdebluetooth-kde3, kubuntu-docs-kde3, strigi-applet, > system-config-printer-kde-kde3 > > I hope this helps.
