By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2011-11-16 00:42:36 CST

In each non-English /usr/share/doc/HTML/konversation directory, the sym links to
the common HTML files are incorrect.

Refer to Bug 347 for the same problem.

Paper cut candidate.

Hey,

I am getting build errors with the cmake port. Is this fully working on your 
machine? R14 nightly wheezy here.

Seems bug report 1365 is the appropriate place for your question. :)

Don't know how I mixed that up... to many tabs open!

Darrell, is this bug still valid?

Read my previous replay:

While I understand Slavek's arguments, I don't believe the master package should automatically create empty or dangling sym links. When sym links are needed to the common directory then the subservient i18n package should create the sym link when installed.

Here is a list of all such reports:

I understand Slavek's arguments too, but I also think dangling sym links are not a good idea as you think.
We will have to discuss all together to find a good solution for this kind of problem (I saw several bugs in this category, so once we fix once, we will be able to do the others as well).

I think we should address this type of bugs before releasing v14.0.0

It is nonsense to symlinks in the manuals applications were supplemented by packages tde-i18n-<lang>.

When the package tde-i18n-<lang> will be installed before the applications, then symlinks will be missing. So package tde-i18n-<lang> would had to react after installing "each" other package - and this is simply nonsense.

Comment 9 Slávek Banko 2014-03-07 21:06:09 CST

I dare say that dangling symlinks is now the only reasonable solution.

The question is: Who can hit on dangling symlinks? What is the probability, for example, that one of you will open Czech guide for knutclient? I think that is very small. On the contrary, it is very likely that the person who will open this guide, will have already installed package tde-i18n-cs and symlinks for his language will be in order.

Closed as WONTFIX. See comments in bug 1611 for details.
