Bug#747255: libkactivities6: Activity manager failed after upgrade to KDE 4.12.4
Package: libkactivities6
Version: 4:4.12.4-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainers,
After the recent upgrade of KDE in jessie the previously configured activities
were gone. Also trying to add an activity failed. Searching .xsession-errors
showed:
klauncher(10898)/kdecore (services) KServiceFactory::findServiceByDesktopPath: "kactivitymanagerd.desktop" not found
and later on:
plasma-desktop(10926)/plasma DesktopCorona::checkActivities: No ActivityManager? Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!
which bode no good.
Searching for the activity manager lead me to libkactivities6 which now, in
reference to wheezy, only recommends libkactivities-bin to be installed.
But this pacakge seems to be very relevant for the activity manager to work.
I'm not sure what the state was before this upgrade, but putting that package
back on the machine and starting the KDE session again gave me all activities
back.
So, is it correct to recommend libkactivities-bin, or should it be a depend?
Kind regards,
Jaap
