You may have outdated Kopete kcm files and/or plugins in /opt/kde/lib/kde3. Try ls -l /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kcm_kopete_* ls -l /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kopete_* and check the dates of the files. Remove those who hasn't been updated at the last make install. Notably PluginConfig, which is indeed gone since just prior to KDE 3.2 beta 1. And no, there won't be a kconf_update for it, there has never been a release which included this KCM, only CVS users are affected :) Martijn Subject: Re: Kopete crashes on Configure Kopete

Removed the old stuff, recompiled Kopete, and now Kopete indeed started
complaining about missing libs or old modules. (after I removed them!)
A very careful
find /usr/local/kde -name *kopete* -exec rm -rvf {} \;
and cvs-clean compile of Kopete fixed it.
This is not the first time this happened though, and it seems to occur
frequently enough to even warn about it in a widget, are you sure this can't
be prevented with some kconf_update magic?
CVS users are just as important, no? ;-(

Or do you get warned everytime something BIC gets comitted to kdelibs? > are you sure this can't be prevented with some kconf_update magic? Since when does kconf_update have root rights and remove outdated files from your kde install dir? |
