Re: [Cooker] KDE 2.x updates for 7.2
This installed but there was no kpackage! I finally looked via rpmdrake to see what packaging utilities had not been installed, and there were a couple that didn't seem to have anything to do with kde. Installed them and kpackage showed up. Updates installed from icewm. Kdebase couldn't be installed without removing the old kdebase via rpmdrake and this resulted in other packages being removed as well, including, apparently, those two little packages under packaging utilities.

But I still got the dependencies problem with kgegames (libkdegames.so.1) I installed all other packages without any problem. The KDE system seems to work ok. My feeling is that the system has become a little bit faster (but this is hard to measure on 700Mhz Pentium III). The disign is better than KDE2.0 with one exeception (to my feeling): the blow-up of the icons in the task bar, maybe I have to become used to it. Thanks for the work! -- +- ! Dr.-Ing.

Do they offer you any improvements, look and feel, functionality? Yes they are valid updates. Improvements are: 1. Speed: remarkable on Pentium 200, 64 EDO RAM, 2. Stability: Kcontrol doesn't crash on exit; Kmail doesn't crash when you click on a new mail when still downloading messages form mail server; 3. Funktionality: KasBar and External Taskbar are great. 2. Is anything in them now broken, that wasn't broken before? In other words do they break anything. Nope! NOTE: Use these at your own risk! They work on my machines, have no idea what will happen on yours. There is also a new dependency for kdepim on libical, the rpm for this is in the same directory. I've installed packages from terminal, and I had to update-menus and reboot computer to get kdm back. Thanks for the great job. We have to put you in the Guiness Book as the fastest packager in the Linux World. Best regards, Zeljko Vukman

I've d/l all rpms and I use rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm to test. No error message. However during actual installation, rpms prints ~20 lines of message, "package catalog not listed in file index."
