Bug ID: 422119
Summary: kpackagetool5 deletes all widgets upon installation /
update of widget from folder
Product: frameworks-kpackage
Version: 5.70.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: default
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: s...@dillbox.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Using kpackagetool5 / plasmapkg2 to install, update or remove a package from a
folder will occasionally delete all locally installed widgets. I'm not sure if
this is relevant, but in my case, the contents of the folder were:
kpluginindex.json
launchpadPlasma
org.communia.apptitle
org.kde.latte.separator
org.kde.latte.sidebarbutton
org.kde.latte.spacer
org.kde.netspeedWidget
org.kde.plasma.chiliclock
org.kde.plasma.inlineBattery
org.kde.plasma.uswitcher
org.kde.plasma.webbrowser
org.kpple.kppleMenu
(scenario 1)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. "plasmapkg2 -r [path]" to remove a previously installed plugin, after which
the plugin folder: this gives the output
kf5.kpackage: Generated
"/home/sora/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids//kpluginindex.json" ( 11 plugins)
Successfully uninstalled [path]
which is occasionally preceded by 3 iterations of
kf5.kpackage: No metadata file in the package, expected it at:
"/home/sora/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/"
2. plasmapkg2 -u [path]" to [incorrectly] update said plugin instead of using
"-i" for a fresh install: this gives the output
Upgrading package from file:
/tmp/kdeplasma-addons/applets/webbrowser/package/
Successfully upgraded [path]
OBSERVED RESULT
All folders previously present in ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids are gone and
only the plugin referenced by "-u" remains, also there's no kpluginindex.json
EXPECTED RESULT
"plasmapkg2 -u" should either complain about the package not being installed
and terminate or better, behave like "-i" in this situation
(scenario 2)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. "plasmapkg2 -r [path]" to remove a plugin that's not installed in the first
place: this gives the output
Successfully uninstalled [path]
OBSERVED RESULT
The entire folder ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids is gone
EXPECTED RESULT
"plasmapkg2 -r" should fail in this situation
(scenario 3)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. ??? <- I couldn't reliably reproduce this exact scenario as I couldn't work
out the preconditions that have to be met but this has happened to me at least
twice
2. "plasmapkg -i [path]" which gives the output:
kf5.kpackage: Generated
"/home/sora/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids//kpluginindex.json" ( 2 plugins)
Successfully installed [path]
OBSERVED RESULT
like scenario 1, but a kpluginindex.json is generated
EXPECTED RESULT
the installation of the package alongside the previously installed packages
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro, kernel 5.6.12
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Scenario 2 seems to be a duplicate of #410682, but scenario 1 and 3 seemed
sufficiently different to #410682 to be filed separately.
