Description Aptenodytes Forsteri 2011-05-28 02:37:01 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

When I try to get new themes for splash screens and wallpapers, I get the following message:

"loading of providers from file http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.html failed"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to "Desktop settings", press "get new wallpapers" and you get the error message.

Ditto for choosing a splash screen (you click on "get new themes" there)

Actual Results:  
I get the "loading of providers from file http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.html failed" error message.

Expected Results:  
I expected to be presented with a list of themes to choose from.

Did this start to happen only today? 
Is it a new installation? Can you access http://download.kde.org/ in your KDE browser?
It works here, I cannot reproduce.

http://download.kde.org/ocs/providers.html

there's the problem! it's providers.html, not providers.xml. in our upstream sources it is providers.xml (which is why it works for Ann-Marie, as well as myself). looks like an installation / packaging issue
