I discovered that if I install ONLY the kdeveop and kdevelop-data packages, then kdevelop installs properly (I get the menu items) and seems to work OK.
So it looks like installing _all_ of the kdevelop-* packages was the mistake. Most likely it was kdevelop-dev that broke things (although I', just guessing). It isn't at all clear what kdevelop-dev does. One would imagine that's actually requires (since, by definition, kdevelop is for development, so one would expect to need the *-dev package, which is why I installed it originally). Anyway, for now I am trying to run without kdevelop-dev installed, and we'll see if that breaks anything. -- kdevelop will not run on 6.06-1 AMD64 https://launchpad.net/bugs/66744 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
