Bug#644173: Kuickshow does not exist any more

[Karsten Malcher <debian@dct.mine.nu>]

Package: kuickshow
Severity: wishlist


Hello together,

i am really a fan of the kuickshow and so i am really sad that it is 
missing since KDE4 now.

Yes, there is Gwenview and i also use Irfanview with wine.
But no other picture viewer is so fast and has such easy to use 
shortcuts for rotate and gamma correction.
The kuickshow should come back to Debian and to the world!


Please also refer to this bug/wishlist:

What i cannot understand is why the missing library functions from the 
imlib cannot be added in the source to the kuickshow statically?



For other readers - here is a workaround to get kuickshow installed in 
Debian Squeeze:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list from

deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

to

deb http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

Only let this two sources activ!

Then execute
  aptitude update
  aptitude install kuickshow

After that undo your changes or use an backup of your sources.list

Then again execute
   aptitude update

This works. :-)

Regards
Karsten
