Package: partitionmanager
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: minor
This is a silly and peculiar cosmetic bug: if you use KDE Partition Manager
to make some changes to a hard drive, and then, when it has successfully
completed, you view the "operation report" in HTML format by clicking the
'Open in external browser' button (first clicking 'Details >>>' if necessary
to show the 'Open ...' button), the report shows the KDE Partition Manager
version correctly (1.0.2), but reports the KDE version as '4.4.3', instead
of the '4.8.4' that it actually is. This is despite KDE Partition Manager
being fully aware elsewhere of the correct KDE version, as shown if you do
'Help | About', in which case the KDE version is correctly shown as 4.8.4.
A quick look through the package source code shows the following code
fragment in file src/util/report.cpp :
s += tableLine(i18n("Date:"),
KGlobal::locale()->formatDateTime(KDateTime::currentLocalDateTime()));
s += tableLine(i18n("Program version:"),
KGlobal::mainComponent().aboutData()->version());
s += tableLine(i18n("LibParted version:"), ped_get_version());
s += tableLine(i18n("KDE version:"), KDE_VERSION_STRING);
but there are no other references to the variable KDE_VERSION_STRING
anywhere in any of the source package files, and I'm not a KDE programmer
so don't know whether this is a standard data item (external environment
variable ?) in a KDE development environment.
This bug is being reported against the Wheezy version of partitionmanager,
but exactly the same fault is observed using the Squeeze version - perhaps
unsurprising given that both Debian releases have the same partitionmanager
version.
Squeeze KDE is 4.4.5, and that in Wheezy is 4.8.4, so the reporting of KDE
version 4.4.3 is mysterious - perhaps it was on the package maintainer's
development workstation at the time the package was built, and has somehow
become hard-coded ?
There is no obvious adverse effect on the requested disk operation, so this
is just a cosmetic bug, albeit a rather strange one.
