Bug#730052: libkactivities6: Don't work properly without libkactivities-bin
Package: libkactivities6
Version: 4:4.11.3-1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Normal system upgrade, libkactivities-bin and libkactivities-models1 packages
were uninstalled and kde activities was not working anymore: joust one default
activity (main), no way to create others activities, no way to show old working
activities.
Applet were marked as present in the desktop but not visible.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I looked in .kde/share/config for some broken local config in activitymanagerrc or
plasma-desktop-appletsrc with no success (even looking for correctnes of activity id
there was no way to show other than main)
I looked for installed/uninstalled packages and I found the system uninstalled
libkactivities-bin ... looked into dependencies and it's marked as "recommends".
Installing it solved the problem
The bug is related to dependencies: libkactivities6 should depend strictly on
libkactivities-bin (or libkactivities-bin should be installed by kde and it has
libkactivities6 as dependency)
Hope my report could be useful for anyone with the same problem since dependency
issue is not solved
