kdebase-bin depends kdebase-bin-kde3 OR kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4

[Harald Sitter]

Binary package hint: kdebase

kdebase-bin depends on kdebase-bin-kde3 OR kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4, while the two packages provide mostly the same files they are in completely different paths, therefore the dependency should be _only_ kdebase-bin-kde3.

i.e. instead of
Depends: kdebase-bin-kde3 | kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4, ...
Depends: kdebase-bin-kde3, ...

in doing some digging when i click on about kde its showing that im running kde 3.5.9 even though i installed the kde4 pkgs would not be suprised if this is related to this dependency

Replaces: kdebase-bin (<< 4:3.96.0), kdebase-bin-kde3
Conflicts: kdebase-bin-kde3

surely you need kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4?

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

Nice.

Now we have 2 issues -.-
kdebase-bin shouldn't list kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 as alternative to kdebase-bin-kde3 since they are using completely different paths
AND kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 shouldn't replace/conflict kdebase-bin-kde3, same reason as above.

When you edit the files please make sure you remove any backup your text editor made (ie: all the files ending in '~')

final version

[Stas Verberkt (legolas)]

This makes kubuntu-desktop and kdebase-bin-kde3 and related packages deleted if kde 4 is also installed because of kdebase-bin-kde3 conflicting with kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4. Could be a bug of kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 tough.

[Jonathan Aquilina (eagles051387)]

harald is the one u need to ask about this bug. from what i was told each respective pkg run in a different path from the other so there fore there shouldnt be any problems

Debdiff for kdebase-runtime still had a wrong changelog entry, fixed that.

Installation of KDE 3 + KDE 4 should be fixed as soon as the package built.
