 Hi,
 I believe there was an experimental branch with support for the Marble
 widget, but it surely wasn't merged into trunk. The rating widget is
 KRatingWidget, originally from Nepomuk, but it looks like it was merged
 into kdelibs.

, your packages are broken, and there's absolutely nothing we can do
 here, sorry. The package version is "kphotoalbum
 4:4.6.1a-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1", we're responsible for the
 "kphotoalbum 4" part, so I'd suggest contacting your distributor and ask
 who is responsible for the "4.6.1a-0ubuntu1~maverick1~ppa1" thing.

 Cheers,
 Jan

Closing. Reopen if needed.
