kflickr doesn't show thumbnails on hardy gnome

[kira]

Binary package hint: kflickr

After a clean gnome hardy install I installed kflickr and the thumbnails didn't work. The enlarge-icon shows the right picture though.

Expected result: after loading pictures, the thumbnails are shown.
Result I got: A broken picture icon.

Rest of the functionality works.
Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 8.04 Release 8.04
Version of program: kflickr_0.9.1-1_amd64

Reason seems to be a missing dependency because by installing kdebase-kio-plugins and reinstalling kflickr it worked again.

same behavior under interpid.
according to this article: http://sprayfly.com/2008/08/20/broken-thumbnails-in-kflickr-on-ubuntu-hardy-gnome/ it's dependency issue (kdebase-kio-plugins), But it can't be solved under interpid, cause ubuntu switched to kde4 and doesn't have kdebase-kio-plugins (any kde4 replacement?)

[TundraMan (asselsm)]

A new upsteam release is now available for use with KDE4. Debs are currently available for Ubuntu Intrepid i386 and amd64. Development is ongoing with full functionality expected around the new year.

Still does not work.

Adding the following PPA solved the problem:

https://launchpad.net/~asselsm/+archive/ppa

It includes a KDE4 version of KFlickr.

Same problem here on karmic. Unfortunately, adding the PPA and reinstalling KFlickr did not resolve this issue.

[Sandip Bhattacharya (sandipb)]

Installing from PPA solved this problem for me in Karmic. I used this package: https://launchpad.net/~asselsm/+archive/ppa/+files/kflickr_20090726-1~ppa1~karmic_i386.deb. Danny, did you use the same package?

[Olivier Duquesne (daffyduke-lautre)]

I confirme, this package fixed the problem.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Fixed in Kubuntu 10.04 and onwards.
