Hardy+KDE4 to Intrepid breaks KDE4 systemsettings

[David Gerard]

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

Binary package hint: systemsettings

When you upgrade from Hardy with KDE4 to Intrepid with KDE4, "System settings ..." opens a blank window.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6038056 - me and one other person had this.

This happens to those who were on Hardy and installed KDE4 from the ppa. dist-upgrade to Intrepid works, but systemsettings is completely inaccessible.

The solution in the forum thread above is: apt-get install systemsettings - this removes systemsettings-kde4 and the resulting systemsettings can in fact be used.

The forum thread suggests: "shouldn't there be a dependency which installs the current systemsettings package even if the systemsettings-kde4 package is installed? This may cause problems for everyone who tried the kde4 packages in hardy."

Note: I originally wrote this as bug 289611, it was closed for being in the wrong package.

No, it was closed because you didn't have this package installed.
