Comment 2 dutchkind 2011-12-08 15:56:00 UTC

The openSUSE developers found the solution to this bug, a hidden dependency: kate. After installing kate everything works as expected.

fall back to lister if text part isn't available - partially fixes bug 285778
viewing now always works, editing only if a service implementing KParts/ReadWritePart is available.
