Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace-bin
Via "Add Widgets -> Install new widgets -> Download from internet"
dialog you can install widgets from the internet. If you select that
option you get a list with two plasmoids (as the at the moment),
"Crystal Monitor" and "PicoNet". When you choose to install them, they
are apparently downloaded from kde-look.org and marked as installed.
However they somehow simply vanish, they show up nowhere. As I figured
out they seem to be superkaramba applets. As it wasn't installed I
manually installed superkaramba-kde4. (As I guess this package is needed
in any case, some hint by the dialog would be good here!) However this
wasn't the solution, I still can't select these widgets in the "Add
Widgets" dialog. I tried deinstalling, reinstalling ... nothing.
Found out the downloaded files end up in /tmp/kde-<user>. If I manually
select one via "Add Widgets -> Install new widgets -> Install from
File", it all works fine. They show up in the "Add Widgets" list and can
be placed on the Desktop. So it's just the "automatic" part which
doesn't work.
