Via Synaptic, I tried to install Kivio. (I wasn't interested in koffice, so Synaptic loaded what it took for Kivio.) The installation failed. However, Kivio works on the machine, so it really wasn't a failure in my view.

Binary package hint: koffice

Not much information, really. I'm not sure this is a bug because Synaptic did what I wanted (installed Kivio). Kivio works correctly as far as I can tell.

Note, this is a newly upgraded machine using 9.10. The machine was first loaded with 8.10, then upgraded to 9.04, and then to 9.10 (in case that helps).

Machine is running fine, and so is Kivio, so I don't see a problem.

As for what I expected, I simply expected Kivio to be installed. What happened is that it installed, but for whatever reason, an error message was registered.

Thanks for all the hard work. We appreciate it.
