Description K. A. Sayeed 2010-09-27 07:28:46 UTC

Version: 4.5 pre (using KDE 4.5.1)
OS: Linux

1. KDE PIM 4.5 or KDE PIM 4.5.1 is supposed to have solved (as suggested by Mr. Tobias Koenig, KDE) some of the severe deficiencies contained in KDE PIM 4.4.2, Address Book, etc., applications which, incidentally, were not found in the earlier version of KDE PIM.

2. KDE PIM 4.5 or KDE PIM 4.5.1 is either available for installation using the Linux -> Ubuntu -> Synaptic Package Manager nor is it available for download from the KDE PIM web site (http://pim.kde.org/).

3. The Linux -> Ubuntu -> Synaptic Package Manager only provides KDE PIM 4.4.2, which is deficient in many respects.

4. The KDE PIM web site neither provides any downloads of KDE PIM 4.5 or KDE PIM 4.5.1 nor does it indicate any other sites from which these may be downloaded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Linux -> Ubuntu -> Synaptic Package Manager:

1.1. Start Linux -> Ubuntu -> Synaptic Package Manager.

1.2. Search for KDE PIM using the Synaptic Package Manager.

1.3. ExaminE the search results.

2. Using KDE PIM web site:

2.1. Go to KDE PIM web site.

2.2. Search for KDE PIM download button or other means for downloading KDE PIM 4.5.

2.3. Evaluate the search results.

Actual Results:
Unable to obtain access to KDE PIM 4.5 or KDE PIM 4.5.1 for installation on a computer system.

Expected Results:
The ability to obtain access to KDE PIM 4.5 or KDE PIM 4.5.1 for installation on a computer system.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-24-generic

KDE only provides tarballs, no package. 

Please report this issue to the Ubuntu bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/

The kdepim tarballs can be downloaded on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/kdepim/
