I don't know if it's me, but... after the update (on -current) lauching kate from the "k" menu results in a graphic popup with (re-translated from italian) "A KDE text editor component has not been found. Check KDE installation" (original italian message: "Un componente KDE editor di testo non è stato trovato. Controlla l'installazione di KDE.).

Most strangely, if I launch kate via command line (simply typing ``kate``) the program starts correctly.

Is this behaviour known? Is there some fix to apply?

missing packages?
check if there's packages that are still left behind using slackpkg upgrade-all

nope

Code:

# slackpkg upgrade-all



Checking local integrity... DONE

Looking for packages to upgrade. Please wait... DONE



No packages match the pattern for upgrade. Try:



        /usr/sbin/slackpkg install|reinstall

moreover, if I start from the cli there are no problems...

have you rebooted your machine after upgrading KDE?

d'oh! :doh:

Indeed a reboot was not necessary, I just went to init 2 and back to 4, and now the problem has been resolved...

thanks willysr

On a fresh install of slackware64-current, running slackpkg upgrade-all results in my KDE version being rolled back from 4.10 to 4.8

I'm using the same mirror for slackpkg as the one I installed from...

Probably an incorrect mirror is specified. What is the output of 'grep -v "^#" /etc/slackpkg/mirrors'?

I used the ftp://ftp.riken.jp mirror to install, but selected ftp://riksun.riken.jp as my slackpkg mirror.

I'll look over my mirrors again once slackpkg finishes running.

After a quick look, turns out I selected a 14.0 mirror instead of a slackware64-current mirror.

Upadated the mirror file, running slackpkg again. D'oh.
