2008-10-26 19:42:52 Harald Sitter kdebase-workspace: statusexplanation kubuntu-desktop is taking care of this kind of stuff, by removing it you won't get complete upgrades.
2008-10-26 22:13:53 Harald Sitter description Binary package hint: systemsettings When you upgrade from Hardy with KDE4 to Intrepid with KDE4, "System settings ..." opens a blank window. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6038056 - me and one other person had this. This happens to those who were on Hardy and installed KDE4 from the ppa. dist-upgrade to Intrepid works, but systemsettings is completely inaccessible. The solution in the forum thread above is: apt-get install systemsettings - this removes systemsettings-kde4 and the resulting systemsettings can in fact be used. The forum thread suggests: "shouldn't there be a dependency which installs the current systemsettings package even if the systemsettings-kde4 package is installed? This may cause problems for everyone who tried the kde4 packages in hardy." In some cases an upgrade from Hardy Heron KDE 4 Remix to Intrepid Ibex isn't done for all applications. This will happen if the package kubuntu-desktop was removed. We strongly advise to ensure kubuntu-desktop, and if KDE 4 is installed also kubuntu-kde4-desktop, is installed before upgrading.

2008-10-29 17:22:11 Michael Vogt update-manager: statusexplanation Thanks for your bugreport. If this is still a issue with the latest version of update-manager (that does the transition of kubuntu-kde4-desktop) then I would like to get the upgrade logs from /var/log/dist-upgrade/* to figure out what goes wrong. I do a test upgrade with kde4 now to see if I can reproduce anything. Thanks, Michael

2008-10-29 17:39:47 Michael Vogt ubuntu-release-notes: statusexplanation I added the text to the ubuntu release notes to make sure that people know about it (especially people upgrading using apt-get or aptitude). For other cases update-manager should be able to deal with it.
