kde-config-touchpad is gone after upgrade to 4.9

[doniks]

I upgraded to 4.9 and now kde-config-touchpad is not installed anymore.

This has been reported on bugs.kde.org:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305704
where it was indicated to report this on launchpad.

It may be related to this: #1037254

Hello there I had the same problem when updating my KDE 4.8.4 to 4.9.0. The update manager and muon software centre was also not there.
To fix this and get back the missing packages you need to open a terminal window and type:

sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop

This will install the missing files and you will then have the kde-config-touchpad back.

same effect when updating from KDE 4.9 to KDE 4.10 on Kubuntu 12.10.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Kubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Kubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Kubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 1041524

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
