kde3 kcm_arts/kmid linked to kdecore.so.3 ??

[Gilles Grandou <gilles@grandou.net>]

Hi All,

I have a rather strange bug on my installation.

my pc is up to date with sid, and so has now most of KDE3.1.
The whole thing is running perfectly except for most (all?) of sound related 
applications:

* the arts control panel fails complaining about a missing lib:

$ kcmshell arts
kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: library=kcm_arts: 
file=/usr/lib/kde3/kcm_arts.la: libkdecore.so.3: cannot open shared object 
file: No such file or directory

$ ldd /usr/lib/kde3/kcm_arts.so
        libkio.so.4 => /usr/lib/libkio.so.4 (0x40027000)
        libkdeui.so.4 => /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.4 (0x40291000)
	[...]
        libkdecore.so.3 => not found

* kmid is linked with libkdecore.so.3 as well.

$ ldd /usr/bin/kmid
        libkmidpart.so => /usr/lib/kde3/libkmidpart.so (0x40012000)
        libkparts.so.2 => /usr/lib/libkparts.so.2 (0x4006b000)
        libkio.so.4 => /usr/lib/libkio.so.4 (0x400a3000)
        libkdeui.so.4 => /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.4 (0x4030c000)
        libkdesu.so.4 => /usr/lib/libkdesu.so.4 (0x40520000)
	[...]
	libkdecore.so.3 => not found

I initially thought that it was a problem in my setup (due to a not so 
seamless upgrade from unffocial kde3 packages), but all packages seem to be 
clean.

On the other way, I can hardly think no one has already complained about this 
if it is a general problem in the official packages...

For reference, I have filled a bug against kcontrol (which contains kcm_arts):

Any comments?
Gilles.
