[Adeodato Simó <asp16@alu.ua.es>]

# THESE BUGS REALLY BELONG TO kdelibs-bin, kdelibs4, kdelibs-data, as in
# james' report. But I am keeping then in korganizer so they are easily
# found by other people in the same situation.

package kdelibs-bin
reassign 265892 korganizer

package korganizer
severity 265892 important
severity 265853 important
merge 265851 265853 265892

thanks

  this is all because  kdelibs-bin, kdelibs4, kdelibs-data do
  "Replace: korganizer (<< 4:3.3.0)" but don't conflict with it.

  (which it may be justified, since using the corresponding Conflicts
  line would prevent anyone from using the uploaded KDE 3.3 parts until
  kdepim 3.3 gets available, which will take a while since it requires
  NEW processing. and kdepim 3.2.3 was uploaded on Aug 3rd, so many
  people won't see this problem).

  as for the solution, I recommend the following to anyone reading this:

    # dpkg  --force-overwrite -i korganizer_3.2.3-1_i386.deb
    # apt-get install --reinstall kdelibs-bin kdelibs4 kdelibs-data

  thanks all for your patience,

You've come to the right place.  At debian-devel we are always willing
to argue over the meanings of words.
