Re: KDE 3.2.2 for Woody... Careful upgrading..
Just because the userbase tends to use apt-get quite a bit, doesn't mean it's intelligent enough to do everything, nor has it ever been. I remember seeing notes from the apt-get developers warning against its use as a generic tool long ago. The warnings about how it does its package dependencies have simply slipped out of the general consciousness over the past few years. I still have days running testing on one of the machines here where it refuses to upgrade something, fire up dselect and it figures out the dependency problem perfectly and finishes off where apt-get gave up. Nate Duehr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] What would help a lot if someone with extensive experience of dselect would write a how-to for even recent converts to Debian to be able to figure out how to use it. The popularity of apt-get is its apparent simplicity but its documentation is lacking in explaining its limitations. I think, the big problem with this upgrade is that it differs too much from the other kde versions for woody. Is it really necessary to upgrade to xfree 4.3.0? The 3.2.0 kde packages dealt well with 4.1.0 and also got along with libqt3-mt and the 3.2.2 packages now come with libqt3c102-mt. I think these packages were build on a sid or sarge system and not on a woody system, is that possible? ingo
Re: kde 3.0.3, compiled for woody
Thomas Schoepf [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I've just finished to recompile KDE 3.0.3 for woody (no libs from testing or unstable), except kdesdk and kde-i18n. The latter seems to have no dependencies that would keep you from using the version for sid together with woody. Originally, I wanted them for my own machines, but in case there are no plans to officially build some debs for woody, maybe it would make sense to put my debs somewhere for download? Yes, that would be interesting ... ;) You had no problems concerning kded segfaulting? mh?! ingo -- nice joke scotty, now beam my clothes up ...
compiled kde3.0.2 from source under woody = kded segfault
Hi, is this the right place to ask? I compiled kde3.0.2 from scratch, qt-3.0.5 also. kded keeps on segfaulting. I think it's a problem in some of woody's libs ... Is this a known problem? ingo -- nice joke scotty, now beam my clothes up ...
