kchart package missing files

[Julián Unrrein]

Using Kubuntu 10.10 (32 bit) and KDE 4.6.2 through ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports.

I installed koffice 2.3.1, which is in the same ppa, and i found that the "insert->chart" command was missing in kword and kspread (I don't know if it is supossed to appear in another programs of the suite).

I checked the details of the kchart package in KPackagekit, and the following files are listed as installed:

/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/kchart
/usr/share/doc/kchart/copyright
/usr/share/doc/kchart/README.gz
/usr/share/doc/kchart/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/kchart/changelog.Debian.gz

If you check the package from official Maverick repositories (http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/kchart/filelist), you can see that there are many more files in that package.

I would remove the ppa in order to test if this fixes my problem, but since i have KDE 4.6.2 installed and this is a production system, i don't want to tinker with it.
So please, can anyone confirm this?

This also affects 10.04.2 LTS (lucid) with a missing kchart binary.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Kubuntu 11.10 64 bit. Koffice installed, but in Insert menu in KSpread the option to insert a chart is missing. I've checked KChart is installed - Muon and Synaptic show it is, but I can't find it or start it via terminal. I've made a chart using LibreOffice and opened the spreadsheet with KSpread - no chart is shown.

It seems that the chart shape plugin has ended to the koffice-dev package: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3119707.0
