Because now we have solid-5.84 thats the version we need fix , and for now its at least usable. The solid FIX you claim , arrives on 5.85 , wait. |
Yes indeed, you were the first to point to solid, and it enabled those of us affected to "downgrade" to the earlier version and keep running!
Sorry if your efforts seemed to get over-looked in the ensuing rush to find the fix! :hattip: -- Pete |

I've got a stupid question about KDE "Plasma 5".
If you have to update the entire stack (frameworks or plasma, etc), why split kdelibs into separate packages? It just doesn't make sense to me that if the entire thing needs to be updated why have 10000 packages to update instead of just one? All of them get version bumped at the same time so it's not like there is more actual work going on to any lib that doesn't get any code changes so it turns out to be more actual work and more files to deal with. |

They install just what they need for a particular feature. |

However, I don't install KDE but I do install KPatience and it went from installing 3 packages (kpat, kdelibs and libkdegames) to 30 packages. Where is the difference? I don't think that you can install too many programs/applications from KDE without needing at least most of what was in kdelibs. |

When you try and install KDE software without installing all of Plasma5, it will bring in a lot of packages as you've seen, but if someone only wants to use khtml (I don't know why they would, but, it's my example), the required list could potentially be a lot smaller. My guess is that KDE devs figured the requirement of including kdelibs was high enough that many people wouldn't develop using their libraries unless they knew it was basically a KDE app. This gives outside devs more flexibility to allow them to use some functionality of KDE without bringing in the whole kitchen sink. |

For example, a Kubuntu 20.04 shows these dependencies for kpat: Code:
Depends: kdegames-card-data-kf5 (>= 4:4.10), kio, libc6 (>= 2.29), libfreecell-solver0, libkf5completion5 (>= 4.97.0), libkf5configcore5 (>= 4.98.0), libkf5configgui5 (>= 4.97.0), libkf5configwidgets5 (>= 4.98.0), libkf5coreaddons5 (>= 5.2.0), libkf5crash5 (>= 5.15.0), libkf5dbusaddons5 (>= 4.97.0), libkf5guiaddons5 (>= 4.96.0), libkf5i18n5 (>= 4.97.0), libkf5kdegames7 (>= 4:19.12.3~), libkf5kiocore5 (>= 5.10.0), libkf5newstuff5 (>= 4.95.0), libkf5widgetsaddons5 (>= 4.96.0), libkf5xmlgui-bin, libkf5xmlgui5 (>= 4.98.0), libqt5core5a (>= 5.12.2), libqt5gui5 (>= 5.9.0~) | libqt5gui5-gles (>= 5.9.0~), libqt5svg5 (>= 5.9.0~), libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.9.0~), libqt5xml5 (>= 5.9.0~), libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1) But then again, if you care about dependencies maybe Slackware is not the right distro for you :) Wait, I just remembered that I have installed a tool called sbbdep (https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...?search=sbbdep), I'm not sure how accurate it is but it reports: Code:
$ sbbdep $(which kpat) Maybe you can trim you package list for kpat after all :) Cheers, |

It is likely their hope that more people will start using KDE libraries now that they're much smaller and may not pull in nearly as many dependencies. |

Thanks for the link, cwizardone. It was really good to see the noted improvement in the weather widget configuration... much better.

WARNING: if your using akonadi don't upgrade MariaDB
There might be a bug or incompatibility between akonadi and MariaDB 10.6.4.
I have upgraded and now kmail is broken. In akonadi logs I see errors like this: DB error: "Incorrect datetime value: '2021-08-07T22:52:47Z' for column `akonadi`.`pimitemtable`.`atime` at row 1" There might be a mysqld option to avoid this issue but I haven't found it yet. I opened https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440717 to make the developers aware. |
