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 codewarrior 2009-04-30 09:38:23 CDT
Synaptic gave these 4 errors when I installed kubuntu-desktop-kde3:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/desktop-effects-kde-kde3_0.4-5_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/25enable-compiz', which is also in package desktop-effects-kde

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/kaffeine-kde3_0.8.6-0ubuntu5_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man1/kaffeine.1.gz', which is also in package kaffeine

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/network-manager-kde-kde3_1%3a0.7svn864988-0ubuntu5_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf', which is also in package network-manager-kde

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/python-kde3-kde3_3.16.2-0ubuntu1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/khtml.so', which is also in package python-kde3

Started with a standard kubuntu 8.04 installation, applied all updates this morning and then used adept to do a version upgrade to 9.04.  Then added the kde3.5 remix repos from http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/ and used synaptic to install kubuntu-desktop-kde3. 

NB this was a plain vanilla 8.04 system updated to 9.04 with no added/removed packages.

As a result I was unable to start a KDE3 session - no panel.

Possible workarounds:
- remove python-kde3
- remove kaffeine
- remove networkmanager-kde !?

Looks like I forgot some conflict directives!

For now, remove kaffeine, desktop-effects-kde, and network-manager-kde

This is an archaic bug that should be long since fixed via other modifications made to the TDE packaging over the years.  As such, I am closing it as RESOLVED FIXED, and request that any issues noted with the latest TDE LiveCDs (Quantal, Raring, etc.) be reported in a new bug report.
