Bug#524684: kdm: missing dependency (on plasma?)

kaboom
Dear Debian KDE people: Since I had some free time, I decided to download and translate Kaboom into Hebrew. I have noticed some issues, although I am not sure where all of them come from. If these should be reported as bugs (and especially if they go against certain packages or need certain tags/severties), please let me know and I can do that also. 1) Kaboom only checks LC_ALL, not LANG or LC_MESSAGES. Since I don't see LC_ALL because I need a mixture of locales, it defaults to C. It would be nice if it checked those variables also. Is a qt4 bug? 2) Even if I set LC_ALL to he, the interface is completely oriented LTR instead of RTL. I have to manually insert RLE's into the translation strings in order to get them display properly, and they're still left justified and with radio buttons on the wrong side for a RTL language like Hebrew. Again, is this a qt4 bug? 3) In the radio button on the choice page, the nbsp are showing up as literal nbsp; instead of an actual non-breaking space. This does not happen, say, with the label a little higher on the page which shows what the current KDE3 and KDE4 directories are, in which the nbsp is rendered correctly. 4) Speaking of the label on the choice page, there is a translation string of %1%2, which after hunting through the source code I figured out that %1 is The current KDE 3 directory is %1 and %2 is The current KDE 4 directory is %2. Two points: %1%2 is a very difficult string to translate; you should provide a translation hint in the source code that shows up in linguist so that translators know what to do. Also, does the order of the two strings really matter? Why not just have two separate strings? 5) I've noticed a few places where the English strings are a little rough. Would you like to hear about them? -- Itai Itai Seggev, Knox College, Mathematics Department In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a travesty they didn't create.

Exactly for this:
kdebase doesn't depend on kde because it works perfectly without it.
I have kdebase installed here but I can live fine with my gdm...
Recommends is really the right choice here and I would suggest to use
a apt frontend that honors them.
I just wanted to point out the the short description of kdebase is
KDE Base Metapackage. With a description like that, I would expect
to get all of kdebase, and kdm does live under kdebase in the the
source tree. Perhaps there is some slightly better terminology that
can be used? (I'd offer something if I could think if it. :)
We tightened the kdm dependency on kdebase-bin, which was the one
causing problems. As now kdm Depends: kdebase-bin (= ${Source-Version),
kdm will necessarily get upgraded whenever kdebase is.
This sounds like a reasonable solution.

Bug#227538: kdelibs: mixed results on 3.2.2
The problem bug is a real bug and not a result of upgrading. I a fresh install with the new sarge installer beta 4, and the problem persisted. I also have discovered why this problem manifested in 3.1.4-3. The binary packages search /etc/qt3/ and /usr/share/config for config files. Up to (and including) 3.1.4-2, /usr/share/config was a symlink to /etc/kde3; hence, it could find the config files. In 3.1.4-3, this symlink was removed. This also explains why installing from debian source over the binary package also fixed the problem permanently: the source install installed the config files into /usr/share/config, so any later binary package could find the config files. Thus, there are 3 solutions to this (and presumably other, related) bugs: 1) Recompile the packages to add /etc/kde3 to the config file search path. 2) Turn /usr/shar/config back into a symlink to /etc/kde3 3) move all the files in /etc/kde3 to /etc/qt3 or /usr/share/config I don't know how these options interact with the debian policy. Presumably you guys do. :) Let me know what you decide. -- Itai Itai Seggev, University of Chicago, Department of Physics Co-coordinator, Carmel Project (http://linbrew.sourceforge.net/carmel) In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a travesty they didn't create.
