Kubuntu: incomplete Karmic->Lucid upgrade (no touchpad configuration, etc)

[David Nemeskey]

I am using Kubuntu, and I have just recently upgraded my system from Karmic to Lucid. I followed the official procedure described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades/Kubuntu.

However, the functionality of my system just does not match the release notes (http://www.kubuntu.org/news/10.04-lts-release).
- I have no touchpad configuration section in System Settings
- I had to install kmozillahelper to get KDE file dialogs in Firefox (even though job notification integration had been working before that too)
- I get a Nepomuk error message when I start Kontact, it seems to be missing the RDF database. This was like this with the KDE beta packages in Karmic too, but I expected this message to disappear with Lucid.

Right now, I have only the official Lucid repositories enabled in apt. Before the upgrade, I had had kubuntu-ppa enabled.
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/beta/ubuntu/ lucid main # disabled on upgrade to lucid

(Sorry I have no idea what package I should assign this bug.)

...to.

OK, I have found the solution: kubuntu-desktop has not been installed by the upgrade procedure (apparently I had removed it earlier). So, the upgrade procedure should make sure that kubuntu-desktop is installed. I think this was actually the case for Karmic, I think I recall it installing kubuntu-desktop for me.
