Konsole KDE 3 not available in Intrepid nor in Jaunty

[Katsudon]

Binary package hint: kile

Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex alpha 6:

At the bottom of the screen in kile there is a number of tabs. One of them, called "Konsole" should open a console (this is how it used to work in previous versions of (K)ubuntu. However, in Intrepid nothing opens.

[Hmpf (dns-hmpf)]

Sadly this is still true in Intrepid Beta.

[Hmpf (dns-hmpf)]

The reason the konsole tab is not working in Kile, seems to be that it needs the "old" konsole from KDE3 not KDE4. See http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=200810181502.27638.braun%40physik.fu-berlin.de&forum_name=kile-devel

At the moment Kile in Intrepid depends on konsole (4:4.1.2-0ubuntu4) when konsole (4:3.5.x) is needed. However as far as I can see the KDE3 version of konsole is not shipped with Intrepid right now.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

It won't be shipped at any point. Konsole depends on too much from the KDE stack (in this case the KDE 3 stack) which makes deployment kind of difficult. For that matter, the only applications that are affected by the absence of it are KDevelop and Kile. We hope to have both ported to KDE 4 in time for Kubuntu 9.04, which will be a supported upgrade target from 8.04 (actually auto-updates from 8.04 to 8.10 are deactivated because of this kind of shortcomings).

Anywho, please be assured that we will include the KDE 4 version of Kile in the Kubuntu KDE 4 PPA, or maybe even the Intrepid backports repository, once it is ready for day-to-day use.

The same problem remains in Jaunty.
