Bug#238875: Addition: Package: installation-reports
I have a few more comments:
Without me telling Sarge to install KDE it installed it - well... good for
me because I wanted that anyways. But... the fonts in the menue are missing!
Nothing there.... it just pops up when highlighting it - but without ->
everything looks empty - but it's definately there(I also had this problem
once with woody after I tried to upgrade it to the newest KDE).
