Package: kontact Version: 4:3.3.2-3 Severity: normal When you close kontact and it has accessed read-write, even if not written in it, a file that has more than one hard link, kontact creates a new file at the path it has accessed, with a new inode, thus "breaking" the hard links (their content wil not be updated anymore). Here's my steps to reproduce the bug: $ cat > foo.ics <<EOF BEGIN:VCARD CLASS:PUBLIC FN:John Smith N:Smith;John;;Mr; TEL;TYPE=CELL:+123456789 VERSION:3.0 END:VCARD EOF $ stat -c "%i %n" * 1917526 foo.ics $ ln foo.ics bar.ics $ stat -c "%i %n" * 1917526 bar.ics 1917526 foo.ics $ kontact Add foo.ics as a new address book, read-only, quit kontact. $ stat -c "%i %n" * 1917526 bar.ics 1917526 foo.ics $ kontact Remove foo.ics address book. Quit kontact. $ stat -c "%i %n" * 1917526 bar.ics 1917526 foo.ics $ kontact Add foo.ics as a new address book, read-write, quit kontact. $ stat -c "%i %n" * 1917526 bar.ics 1918815 foo.ics 1918812 foo.ics_4 OK, link's broken... I had the same bug with my calendar, thus the bug filed on kontact. I suspect it is a general KDE bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-1-k7 Locale: LANG=fr_FR@euro, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages korganizer depends on: ii kdelibs4 4:3.3.2-6.2 KDE core libraries ii ktnef 4:3.3.2-3 KDE TNEF viewer ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-2 GCC support library ii libice6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libidn11 0.5.18-1 GNU libidn library, implementation ii libkcal2a 4:3.3.2-3 KDE calendaring library ii libkdepim1 4:3.3.2-3 KDE PIM library ii libkgantt0 4:3.3.2-3 KDE gantt charting library ii libkpimexchange1 4:3.3.2-3 KDE PIM Exchange library ii libkpimidentities1 4:3.3.2-3 KDE PIM user identity information ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.3.4-3 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii perl 5.8.7-6 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii xlibs 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-4 compression library - runtime Versions of packages korganizer recommends: ii kghostview 4:3.3.2-2 PostScript viewer for KDE -- no debconf information -- nowhere.man@levallois.eu.org OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A
