Description Jochen Bauer 2009-01-08 18:09:25 UTC
Version:           4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid2 (using Devel)
Compiler:          g++ 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Hi,

since today kmail doesnt work anymore.
If I start kmail fom the terminal it shows: 

kmail: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN4KPIM8KMeditor16contextMenuEventEP17QContextMenuEvent


If I start kontact an error message appears telling:

Loading of email-component failed. (free translation from german)

QLibrary::load_sys: Cannot load /usr/lib/kde4/kmailpart.so (/usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN4KPIM8KMeditor16contextMenuEventEP17QContextMenuEvent)

I tried to remove, reinstall, install, reconfigure kmail, kontact, libkdepim but no effect.

I did not notice any updates which could cause this, but im not completely sure.

Greetz

Jochen

The information in the headers are not right:

Version:           4:4.1.3-0ubuntu1~intrepid2 (not using devel, using canonical ubuntu packages)

Compiler:          g++ 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Comment 2 Jochen Bauer 2009-01-08 20:09:00 UTC
KDE is 4.2 Beta
Comment 3 Dario Andres 2009-01-08 21:30:25 UTC
Seems like an error of packaging.
What is the version of your "kmail" and "kdepimlibs5" ?
Comment 4 Jochen Bauer 2009-01-08 22:20:40 UTC
As I wrote kmail is version 4.1.3 and kdepimlibs5 is 4.1.85. Ill try to build an svn snap of kmail
Comment 5 Dario Andres 2009-01-08 22:24:35 UTC
YOu have that version installed? of course you are getting errors , you have KMail from KDE4.1 and kdepimlibs (and maybe another libs) from KDE4.2.

Try to install KMAIL for KDE4.2 or downgrade all your system to 4.1.

I'm closing this report as this is not a bug of KDE itself. Thanks :)
Comment 6 Jochen Bauer 2009-01-08 23:05:26 UTC
It works again. I used the experimental repository of ubuntu tu upgrade to kde 4.2. After that I commented out the source to get not every expermental stuff during an update. 

I solved my problem now by uncommenting the source again and reinstalling kdepim. 

Now it works.

I have absolutely no idea, why that error came up... 

It worked for at least 4 weeks now. THere must have been an update recently which caused the trouble.
