apt-get dist-upgrade followup



First, applauds for this (yet again) packaging success of KDE4. I can only quote linux magazine, "good things come to those who wait" [1]


I did an apt-get dist-upgrade on my sid-oriented-since-years box, here are the few issues that came:


- Kaboom: All but one (the jabber one) Kopete contacts were not converted
- Dist-upgrade:
+ kwin did not get replaced. And it does not work very well within KDE4, that was the case for me, not configurable. I wonder if there should be a "Replaces: kwin" in addition to the "Conflicts: kwin" into the kde-window-manager control file. "apt-get install kde-window-manager" fixed it.
+ konqueror family did not get upgraded - did not looked at why. "apt-get install konqueror konq-plugins" fixed it.


Did not touch the installed packages, since then, and I see few KDE 3.5 renegades after the upgrade, see below.
I will try to remove them one by one in order to miminize eventual impact (can very well be that I have additionnal dependencies because of other packages that requires'em of course).


All in all, huge and remarquable work. KDE4 is great, btw.


Thanks, Cheers, JD.
