incomplete dependencies, parts of krusader do not work correctly and no installation possible

[TomasHnyk]

Binary package hint: krusader

Krusader has a bult-in bookmarks manager, that clearly depends on Konqueror (when Konqueror is installed, it works, when it is not (and all its dependecies are), it does not - upon clicking on Bookmark manager nothing happens). However, Konqueror is not even in suggested packages for Krusader. I think it even maybe should be a dependency because user expects buttons in programs to work - even better, upon clicking the button, a message prompting to install Konqueror would be great, but I guess this should rather go to Krusader developers.

Also, for various protocols a user is likely to use with krusader (for example, samba), kdebase-kio-plugins should be installed - they are suggested, but should not they be installed by default(i.e. be a dependency)? Because without them, Krusader is somewhat crippled.
(edit:typo)
I use GNOME, as is evident because KDE users will most likely not notice this.

I use Gnome too and because of this bug (didn't know about the dependencies) I dropped Krusader :( some time ago...

[bg_turk (bgturk)]

I have experienced difficulties with Krusader in gnome as well. I could not unrar any of the archive files, and I had to drop it as well .

I have the same problem using Dapper Drake. I can't get to the Bookmark manager.
I'ld hate to have to drop Krusader because of this as I really like it.
My regular desktop is gnome, because ubuntu uses it. At home I use KDE on debian etch, but haven't tried Krusader on it.
I hope someon can solve this.

[michael301080 (michael-oxopia)]

I found out that installing Konqueror takes care of the bookmark manager problem. Therefore konqueror is actually a dependency of krusader.

HTH,

Michael

I filed a bug in Krusader bug tracking system and they know about it, but it will not get fixed until Krusader 2 for KDE4... maybe temporarily the dependency to Konqueror should be set in Ubuntu...

[oss_test_launchpad (oss-test-launchpad)]

Trying to test install of Krusader via Synaptic on Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4+. Synaptic tells me:

krusader:
Depends: libkonq4 (>=4:3.5.8-1) but it is not installable.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

That's because the KDE3 version of libkonq has been replaced with the KDE4 version. Krusader has been upgraded to a KDE4 version. How is it now?

[oss_test_launchpad (oss-test-launchpad)]

It is installable now. However, Synaptic only provides a package which has apparently built from some svn version.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

This is because the KDE4 version has not been released yet. I've tested it out and it seems reasonably functional.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Since it's installable and recommends are now installed by default, I'm going to mark this fixed. If there are problems with the new version, please file new bugs.
