Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-11-03 23:20:54 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=448015

Package: kdeadmin
Version: 3.5.8-1
Debian Version: sid (unstable)

There are two bugs in kpackage:

1- If you start kpackage then you try to close it (clicking on window close 
button) before it has completed the operation of "query deb package, query 
deb APT list, buildinding package tree ecc..."->  it will krash!

2- Start kpackage. Choose the installed tab then click on an installed 
package. On the right side choose the Change Log tab: you can see the debian 
changelog related to the package.
Now try to uninstall (click uninstall button) or install (click install 
button) a package; in both cases you will be asked for root password: insert 
it and feel free to cancel the operation.
After that you will no longer be able to view the packages Change Log; it will 
be showed "- No change log -", even if you reload the package tree.


thanks,
Andrea

KPackage was recently removed from KDE SC (since 4.4 beta2) as it was completely broken and unmaintained.

Most of the common GNU/Linux distributions offer their own tools to deal with packages, and KDE is working on an universal package manager replacement named "Shaman" (to superseed KPackageKit)

Closing the KPackage's bug reports as UNMAINTAINED.
