Bug#294906: fails to access resource without meaningful errormessage
Package: kaddressbook
Version: 3.3.1-3
I can't exactly tell since when this happens, but it's been at least a month
in testing.
What I do:
- open kmail
- click "tools|address book"
(kaddressbook opens)
- click the "new contact" button
(KAddressbook says: The resource '/home/uli/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf' is
locked by application ''.)
Note the two single quotes after 'application', obviously the detection who is
locking this file fails.
Further notes:
- This also happens if I run kaddressbook on its own and first killed every
other kde-related program.
- I'm not running the KDE desktop but just a windowmanager.
- This affects editing anything, not just creating new contact entries.
- The same error message pops up when closing kaddressbook, followed by a
second one: "Unable to save to resource 'resource-name'. It is locked.".
Again, the name of the resource seems to be determined falsely.
thanks
Uli
