Update in t-p-u for kde-core from 4:3.1.2 to 5:42 ???

Hi all,

I noticed this evening in aptitude an update for Sarge for kde-core.
I think the update is probably from testing-proposed-updates.

It looks very suspicious to me:
- - Why the huge version jump from 4:3.1.2 to 5:42?
- - Why does the changelog list:   The why is kde in debian still 3.1.2 
Release
  As you well know the version of KDE is Sarge is 3.2.3!

Please look into this.

(/me has put the package on hold for now)

Cheers,
Frans Pop

Hello Adeodato,

Thanks very much for the extremely quick reaction!

   to make kde just a dependency package, clearly stating that its
   version has no relation at all to the real kde version in debian.

  - Why does the changelog list:   The why is kde in debian still
  3.1.2 Release As you well know the version of KDE is Sarge is 3.2.3!

   'apt-cache show kde' would show version 3.1.2, and some people would
   get confused by that.

Seeing things explained like that makes it obvious. It was just that the 
two discrepancies together that me doubt this update.

   next time you could check the archives of the lists you post to, e.g.
   http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2004/11/msg00327.html. and
 the relevant changelog entry, of course:

 * Disconnect meta-kde version numbers from kde.

Ah, yes. A bit cryptic for my limited intellectual powers ;-)

I agree that I should have checked debian-qt-kde before sending the 
message. Will do better next time.
One advantage: d-kde readers are informed now as well...

Cheers,
FJP
