Package: kdebase-kio-plugins
Version: 4:3.1.3-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
I upgraded from KDE 2.x konqueror to KDE 3.x konqueror by running
apt-get install konqueror
Unfortunately I could not view thumbnails, and since I am on dialup I
cannot randomly try out various packages but rather look at package
descriptions to see if a certain package fills my need.
kdebase-kio-plugins currently says:
Description: KDE I/O Slaves
KDE I/O Slaves
.
This package is part of the official KDE base module.
This is not very descriptive and did not lead me to the solution=20
that I need this packet. Especially it repeats the Short description
in the long description. I would suggest somthing like
Description: KDE I/O Slaves
This packet contains various internal helper tools for many KDE
programms, like e.g. konqueror. If you need to access e.g. zip-files
transparently or view previews, you have to install this paket.
.
This package is part of the official KDE base module.
.
KDE is an advanced desktop environment.
Possibly even the Short description should be reformulated to give
a novice an idea.=20
I mark this as a bug, because policy 3.4 says:
The description should describe the package (the program) to a user
(system administrator) who has never met it before so that they have
enough information to decide whether they want to install it. This
description should not just be copied verbatim from the program's
documentation.
And as a user/system administrator I might know what KDE is (though it=20
won't hurt to explain that as well, suppose I just learned Gnome
coming from e.g. another common OS and now start to explore my
system), but not even having a full sentence specific to the package,
and "KDE I/O Slaves" which contains two acronyms and one technical
term is not "descriptive" to someone who has never met it before (and
I have used KDE 2.x, so I even heard about I/O Slaves, just I did not
know that I needed them in konquerer as I could see the images just
fine when clicking on them).=20
