Bug ID: 496968
Summary: Installing a program breaks Neon, cannot start any
apps
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: nemeskey.da...@gmail.com
CC: carlosd....@gmail.com, j...@jriddell.org,
neon-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If the system is not fully updated, it can happen that installing a program
breaks the system.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do not update Neon for a time
2. Install a program (in my case, it was the KDE Partition Manager)
3. Observe the below:
OBSERVED RESULT
The program is installed correctly, but then it cannot be started, nor can any
other KDE-based (Qt-based?) program on the system. Apparently this is because
the newly installed program is linked against a newer version of a library than
what was available on the system, and this causes a conflict. I couldn't figure
out which library / version to uninstall / reinstall and how. Updating the
system solves the problem.
EXPECTED RESULT
The system / Discover / etc. should not allow the installation of programs that
link to conflicting library versions.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 6.2
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The above versions are the versions *after* the update; obviously, the error
happened before. However, I have experienced this issue with various versions
of KDE Neon, so it is a problem inherent in how Neon / KDE handles updates, and
not tied to a particular version.
