Description Christian González 2012-08-16 12:05:30 UTC

I don't know if this is a packaging bug in Ubuntu, if so, please simply mark it as invalid:

When you deinstall kdm, systemsettings still shows the kcm_kdm module as icon, and if you click on it, you see an error, that the kcm_kdm module can't be found.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. deinstall kdm
2. open systemsettings
Actual Results:  
the kdm icon is still there and leads to an error page

Expected Results:  
I would expect that the icon is gone as nothing refers to it any more.
It should be part of the kdm package (which maybe is just a packaging issue?)

Does running "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" between removing kdm and starting System Settings help?

Yes, perfectly. after running  "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" the kdm
entry is gone.
So where is the problem? Is this a packaging bug - there seems to be this
command missing in the postrm script of apt in (K)ubuntu (what I'm using)?
Normally after removing a kde component that has a link in systemsettings
there should be run this command, right?

Should I report it in Launchpad/Ubuntu?

I have no idea. Normally, I would expect that removing files from the service directories would trigger an sycoca refresh, but it could also be a bug in System Settings itself.

Reassigning.

How can I help?

kded4 is responsible for firing the kbuildsycoca4 process off. System Settings will need to be restarted however for old modules to disappear.

KDM no longer exists in Plasma 5
