upgrading from woody to ralf's kde 3.1
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have a relatively stock woody system with a few packages from testing
and unstable installed (mainly the libc and ogg vorbis 1.0 from testing
and xcdroast from unstable, installed from source) and of course a
custom 2.4.20 kernel. And I have installed everything and the kitchen
sink from all 7 woody CDs.
I did not uninstall anything before upgrading.
I have encountered the following problems upgrading from kde 2.2.2 in
woody to the kde 3.1 backport packages on ktown.kde.org/~nolden:
1.
The packages file was broken when I downloaded the debs (on Tuesday
iirc). I had to download some qt 3.1.2 packages manually. I hear this
has been fixed already.
2.
A package called kmtrace wants to own a file (I think it was
/usr/bin/match) which was also contained in a package called grunch.
3.
A package called kdesdk-scripts wants to own a file
(/usr/bin/fixincludes) which was also contained in a package called
fixincludes.
4.
I had various conflicts with the new kdevelop package and the old
kde-i18n-* packages.
5.
The libpsi-dev package conflicted with the kopete package (both new
packages).
6.
After the install kdm did not want to start. I did not purge the config
files of the old kde2. After a dpkg-reconfigure kdm it would start,
except that it only had default, failsafe and kde3 as session types.
I edited the other 15 window managers manually into the config file.
7. xine-ui depends on some newer libdirectfb-$something which
unfortunately conflicts with some older libdirectfb-$sthelse. So
installing xine-ui would have me remove clanlib. So no more xine.
I think that was all. I solved all of these by removing the old packages
and deselecting libpsi-dev. Otherwise, no problems (except for the fact
that artsd *still* sucks...).
I also installed Xfree86 4.2.1, Mozilla 1.2.1, OpenOffice.org 1.0.2
backports and various packages from marillat.free.fr during the rest of
the week and have not noticed any real problems so far.
