Right, so the problem is... Open dialogs as in the steps to reproduce (using mcmohave as a test) kpackagetool5 installation succeeds on the first go (and incidentally i also have a successful refresh of the kcm's contents, resulting in the theme showing up there, which means i can't confirm this bug's issue as described) Open the ghns dialog again, and click uninstall on mcmohave An error is displayed as you describe upon removal, and knewstuff now thinks the entry is uninstalled, but stuff has been left behind on the file system Two things to consider here: kpackagetool5 is failing to remove the thing we installed (presumably because the file it installs is deleted?) knewstuff cannot differentiate between uninstall being requested, and that uninstallation failing in an external tool (it works fine if it fails internally, that is to say, if there is no external tool used for the installation management) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
