I'm not an expert in ubuntu dependency management, therefor I don't want to interfere with your decision by, e.g., re-opening this bug. Yet, I'm a bit surprised for two reasons:
I have several kubuntu machines smoothly running KDE 4.1, WITHOUT having kubuntu-kde4-desktop installed. I might remember seeing it go away on apt-get autoremove, not sure. Note, that those machines previously ran KDE 4.0. I don't recall the details of this upgrade but apart from this one missing package everything went smooth so it didn't feel like doing any dirty tricks. On a second note, my understanding of dependencies was to aim at trying to guarantee consistent configurations on clients' machines with the greatest possible flexibility of what they have installed. In my eyes a konqueror without these shared libraries is not a consistent configuration and thus shouldn't be possible with apt-get. The actual reason why I feel this to be relevant is, that a user only sees THAT something is missing, without an obvious way of adding the required pieces, because the error message doesn't speak of kdebase-bin-kde4. Just my 2c. -- [kde4 ppa] The shared library was not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245865 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
