kde 3.1.1a upgrade
HI, I have recently upgraded kde 2.2.2 to 3.1.1a by adding : deb http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian stable main, to my /etc/apt/sources.list, then I did apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade it downloaded and installed fine but, in the menu thing like gimp, and whole menu categories like applications, games, Debain categories, were all gone. How do I fix that? Thank you very much for any replies, Zim _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses. Get 2 months FREE*. http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus

Thank you very much for any replies, Zim These are controlled by Debians own menu tools, which is usually included and should be called during the postinst scripts. try running, as root, update-menus If this doesn't exist, apt-cache search update-menus should tell you which package it's in. apt-get install that and you should be O.K. _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

If it works, it should work both from the symlink or the absolute path, it doesn't matter. It might matter if next time you upgrade, your java vm has changed location. By using an absolute path in konqui you are bypassing the debian alternatives system. The default path of java that the debian kde packages ship with works fine. This is not the source of your problem, I was just trying to be informative :-) Did you check the other java related symlinks in /etc/alternatives? I vaguely recall having problems with java a few months ago. I think at the time there were only java packages available for woody, then packages became available for sid but when I upgraded lots of stuff had moved around and the install script failed to update some of the symlinks in /etc/alternatives. I had to edit a lot of those symlinks to get things working again, mc is a godsend for this sort of stuff. Also, when you had the sun tarball installed previously did you or the install script create any symlinks outside of /usr/local? Did you clean up before installing the blackdown .debs?

I realise I brought this up several times some months ago, and it did seem IIRC that it was generally agreed upon that it was a Good Thing to have debian users get the same set of compatibility headers that everyone else gets, and that the debian package management system was *not* meant to be abused to punish users into hassling developers to write non-legacy code. I was quieted by the fact that Ralf explained the dependencies would be patched in Qt 3.1.2, and that the appropriate patches were sitting in CVS in qt-copy/debian. It seems that not only were these patches never uploaded to sid in the meantime, but now they've actually been removed from CVS altogether. I have to say that I agree 100% with Ben on this one. In ye olde Utopiane worlde, we'd be able to deprecate headers and draw the line in the sane, but we can't. It's not our call, it's upstream's call, and we shouldn't be placing further arbitrary restrictions. I've talked with Martin yesterday and he updated all his changes into qt-copy/debian that he had so far. I updated one of the patches needed for Qt 3.2 already. About those stupid headers - is Recommends enough to make everyone stop nagging ? In the meanwhile unstable is in a state where the maintainers know where to use compat-headers and where they don't have to (which is what was desired).

Having KDE3 drop down to testing is rather urgent because incompatible libs already did. E.g.libvorbis0a conflicts with the woody KDE3 debs from download.kde.org which prevents all apps that have libvorbis0a somewhere in their dependency chain from being upgradable :-/ (e.g. sox, sweep, timidity). So for now, in testing, libvorbis-dev is uninstallable because it wants to remove all of KDE3 :( Or is there a KDE3 build to be compatible with current debian testing (means: compiled with libvorbis0a package)?

howto upgrade to kde 3.1.1a
Hi, I upgraded to kde 3.1.1a by adding: deb http://download.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/Debian stable main and then I did apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade but when it installed it didn't look very satisfying, things like Koffice, games ,etc. were missing, when I tryed downloading kdevelop manually, by apt-get install kdevelop it says: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: kdevelop: Depends: kdelibs3 (= 4:2.2.2-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdebase-libs but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages then I try doing apt-get install kdelibs3 which eareses all of my kde then I keep doing this loop. My question is: Is there a tutorial or a clean way to install kde 3.1.1a with everything in it, thus avoiding all this trouble? Thanks a lot, Zim _ Tired of spam?
