Minor Issues on unstable=>pre4 upgrade
Greetings,
I observed some minor issues when upgrading KDE from whatever's in
unstable to the latest pre-release. FWIW, my notes:
[Apologies if this is a duplicate... --list newbie here.]
<--snip-->
[issue 1] ------------------------------------------------------------
kmail (4:3.4.0-0pre1) wouldn't install because kdebase-data
(4:3.3.2-1) owns this file:
/usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/scalable/apps/kmail.svgz
Unfortunately, I did not keep the exact error text, but it was similar
to the one in [issue 2], below.
This error prevented most or all of the KDE upgrade from
preconfiguring and installing. However, I did a `dpkg --force-depends
-r kdebase-data` followed by an `aptitude dist-upgrade` and the
problem went away.
kmail
old: 4:3.3.2-3
new: 4:3.4.0-0pre1
kdebase-data
old: 4:3.3.2-1
new: 4:3.4.0-0pre3
[issue 2] ------------------------------------------------------------
I had a similar issue with kiten:
Unpacking libkiten1 (from .../libkiten1_4%3a3.4.0-0pre1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libkiten1_4%3a3.4.0-0pre1_i386.deb
(--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/apps/kiten/radkfile', which is also in
package kiten
kiten
old: 4:3.3.2-3
new: 4:3.4.0-0pre1
libkiten1
old: n/a
new: 4:3.4.0-0pre1
I fixed it the same way as [issue 1].
[issue 3] ------------------------------------------------------------
Konsole fonts were different after the upgrade. They were smaller and
paler. I manually re-adjusted, so it was not a big deal. I have my original
konsolerc config file and some screenshots available on request.
[issue 4] ------------------------------------------------------------
Not really an issue, but consider including a debian logo in
/usr/share/apps/kdm/pics
The "Login Manager" control panel defaults to this directory when
letting users pick a logo for KDM's logon screen.

Other than that, I've been using KDE for web-browsing and casual usage
for the past 24 hours without any noticable problems. It's so
fantastic to have KDE on the Debian platform... thanks for making it
all possible!
Cheers,
Stephen A. Bennett
