Yes, kdebase-data has the same bug and causes all kcontrol entries to disappear. See bug #325592. If you still have kdebase-data in apt's archive, you can do this: dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-data_4%3a3.3.2-1_all.deb Or, if you have testing in your sources.list, you can do apt-get install kdebase-data/testing Otherwise, download kdebase-data_3.3.2-1_all.deb from Debian's website, and install it using dpkg -i kdebase-data_3.3.2-1_all.deb.

Re: KDE menu applications gone
Well, the first reply indicated I should use kdelibs-3.3.2-7.1 but I couldn't find that one anywhere. I already had 3.3.2-6.1, but I tried dpkg -i to reinstall both that and kcontrol, but it had no effect - I am still unable to see any menus inside kcontrol. My problem was not related to the KDE menu though - it was related to the kcontrol menu groups. Any other suggestions on how to get kcontrol items back after a downgrade?

After download, as root, do: dpgk -i ./kdelibs-data_3.3.2-6.1_all.deb from the directory where you put the downloaded file. dpkg will now downgrade your kde-libs data. You should be aware however that from then on in you will be bugged about a broken package, but you'll have a working kde until you can upgrade it properly. Jan -- ** Do not use the reply-to address.

I also uninstalled kde unintentionally. Out of interest, is there an approximate time when kde will be working in unstable again? I just need to weigh up whether it is worth me installing it from testing or not or whether I should wait.

Sorry, could you elaborate on how you did an apt-get of an older version of the .deb file? I am in exactly the same boat - I just downgraded to testing, and kcontrol shows up with no icons at all.
