Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdrill

Upgraded EEE netbook to Lucid aka 10.04 last night. No problem.
Installed Kdrill v. 6.54dbs-4 - first w/ ubuntu software centre - installation not a problem but the application does only blink into existence when I attempt to launch it from 'Education' menue and then nothing happens. It does not show in System - Processes = shuts itself down immediately after launch. De-installed using software centre.
Reinstalled with 'KPackageKit'. Same result. De-installed w/ KPackageKit.
Reinstalled via Synaptic. Same result.

Any ideas?

With kanjidic installed it should run fine

This is still an issue on natty 11.04., kanjidic is a missing package dependency.
