I had to learn apt because was a basic tool in Debian, but I dream the day when I could forget about it. Anyhow, adept too is no more maintained, you can read why here: http://web.mornfall.net/adept.html Are you involved in some way with a development of a package manager for Debian? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Synaptic is good and very similar but it's just for GNOME and it prevents the use of apt in console. Many times before I checked a package that I was interested to just using kpackage and then installing it just with apt-get at the same moment. Indeed I use apt more often than any other else package manager, but with a little help from kpackage when it was needed. Another important reason why I liked kpackage was the ability to browse the installed packages and even the single files. It was very handy to check for README's, configuration samples and so on. It was a matter of clicking on the file and having it displayed in konqueror, in kwrite or inside ark. That is why I consider it more useful than synaptic. Another feature that I liked is the ability of kpackage of displaying at a quick glance any missing file in a package. Last but not least I have translated its documentation :) and I'm sorry to see kpackage disappearing. BTW if it's supposed to remove kpackage, I agree that I should use something different like adept (I tried it a long time ago and I didn't feel a good impression from it, but now things have changed for good). Anyhow adept is still missing the features I had mentioned above. I hope to have answered to your question.

Re: KDE4.2 in experimental and kpackage
I'm afraid KPackage is maintained no more, and I suggested removing it from kdeadmin upstream. What makes KPackage UI better then the one of Adept (or anything else) for you? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: KDE4.2 in experimental and kpackage
more details, after mine previous short message I just installed KDE 4.2 from experimental (in a sidux amd64 fully dist-upgraded from unstable) When kpackage is launched, it takes a while (much longer than in kde 3.5.10) seeming that it's loading the list of the packages (CPU load is about 95%), after some time it gives up but nothing is listed in the packages list on the left panel. the search function gives no results, also with packages installed for sure this is the output if I run it in konsole : --- kpackage(3597) pkgInterface::ifExe: Program not found: "rpm" kpackage(3597) KpTreeList::readTreePos: KpTreeList::readTreePos() kpackage(3597) managementWidget::readPSeparator: managementWidget::readPSeparator() kpackage(3597) KPKG::setupMenu: kpinterface[DEBt]->makeMenu kpackage(3597) DEB::makeMenu: DEB::makeMenu kpackage(3597) kpPty::breakUpCmd: kpPty::run CMD=" "smart query --installed" " pty = kpKProcIO(0x175c470) kpackage(3597) kpPty::run: return Result= 0 1437 kpackage(3597) kpPty::breakUpCmd: kpPty::run CMD=" "/bin/sh -c 'smart info --urls >/tmp/kde-mauri/smart.list'" " pty = kpKProcIO(0x175c470) kpackage(3597) kpPty::run: return Result= 0 0 kpackage(3597) managementWidget::checkMarked: checkMarked() 0 0 kpackage(3597) KpTreeList::search: KpTreeList::search2 kpackage(3597) KpTreeList::search: KpTreeList::search2 kpackage(3597) kpPty::breakUpCmd: kpPty::run CMD=" "smart query --installed" " pty = kpKProcIO(0x175c470) kpackage(3597) kpPty::run: return Result= 0 1437 kpackage(3597) kpPty::breakUpCmd: kpPty::run CMD=" "/bin/sh -c 'smart info --urls >/tmp/kde-mauri/smart.list'" " pty = kpKProcIO(0x175c470) kpackage(3597) kpPty::run: return Result= 0 0 kpackage(3597) managementWidget::checkMarked: checkMarked() 0 0 kpackage(3597) managementWidget::writePSeparator: managementWidget::writePSeparator() - posted also at KDE Bug Tracking System -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
