Bug#728523: kdelibs-bin conflict with kdelibs4c2a prevents use of older kde programs
Package: kdelibs-bin
Version: 4:4.10.5-1+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
nb I've selected severity grave as this bug renders kdelibs4c2a (and everything
that depends on it) unusable, not because it makes kdelibs-bin unusable.
kdelibs4c2a is a part of kde3 and is required by kde3 programs. It was last
shipped by debian as part of squeeze. Neither the kdelibs-bin in squeeze
or the kdelibs-bin in wheezy conflicts with kdelibs4c2a. However, the current
kdelibs-bin in jessie does conflict with kdelibs4c2a which prevents the
use of kde3 programs on jessie.
I've looked at
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/i386/kdelibs-bin/filelist
http://packages.debian.org/jessie/i386/kdelibs-bin/filelist
and the conflict appears to have been added as two files (/usr/bin/kmailservice
and /usr/bin/ktelnetservice) have been introduced which already exist in
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/i386/kdelibs4c2a/filelist
On previous occasions instead of introducing a conflict a '4' was added to
the filename e.g /usr/bin/kshell4 to avoid a conflict with /usr/bin/kshell
thereby allowing the continued use of kde3 programs.
I'd like kdelibs-bin in jessie changed so that it uses filenames
/usr/bin/kmailservice4 and /usr/bin/ktelnetservice4, thereby removing the
conflict and allowing the use of old kde3 programs on jessie.
