Package: kde-full Version: 5:64 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
The title says it all. the kde-base install does not make any attempt to undo the gnome spaghetti so that kdm can run. The Debian soft links and other indirections for the start up of gnome are so baroque that it is almost impossible to unpick. The classical method for the selection of a display manager is the use of a soft link in the /etc/X11/xinit. I think that the Debian implementers have lost the plot here. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages kde-full depends on: ii kde-plasma-desktop 5:64 the KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal ii kde-plasma-netbook 5:64 the KDE Plasma Netbook and minimal ii kdeadmin 4:4.4.5-4 system administration tools from t ii kdeartwork 4:4.4.5-1 themes, styles and other artwork f ii kdeedu 4:4.4.5-2 educational applications from the ii kdegames 4:4.4.5-1 games from the official KDE releas ii kdegraphics 4:4.4.5-2 graphics applications from the off ii kdemultimedia 4:4.4.5-1 multimedia applications from the o ii kdenetwork 4:4.4.5-1 networking applications from the o ii kdepim 4:4.4.6-1 Personal Information Management ap ii kdeplasma-addons 4:4.4.5-1 addons for Plasma ii kdeutils 4:4.4.5-1 general-purpose utilities from the Versions of packages kde-full recommends: ii kde-standard 5:64 the KDE Plasma Desktop and standar ii kdeaccessibility 4:4.4.5-1 accessibility packages from the of ii kdesdk 4:4.4.5-1 Software Development Kit from the ii kdetoys 4:4.4.5-1 desktop toys from the official KDE ii kdewebdev 4:4.4.5-1 web development apps from the offi Versions of packages kde-full suggests: pn kde-l10n <none> (no description available) pn koffice <none> (no description available) ii xorg 1:7.5+7 X.Org X Window System -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
