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 dzsabor 2008-12-20 10:54:47 CST 
The configure scripts of some kde apps check for the existence of libkio.la and kdewidgets.la (and probably more). These are normally part of packages kdelibs4-dev and kdelibs4c2a (!?). However, neither kdelibs4-kde3-dev nor kdelibs4c2a-kde3 contains these libs, which makes the compilation of these progs to fail.
Comment 1 Timothy Pearson 2008-12-20 13:15:06 CST 
Actually, those files do exist.  From a box with my KDE3 packages installed:
user@virtualone:~# locate libkio.la
/usr/kde3/lib/libkio.la
user@virtualone:~# ls /usr/kde3/lib/libkio.la
/usr/kde3/lib/libkio.la
user@virtualone:~# dpkg -S /usr/kde3/lib/libkio.la
kdelibs4-kde3-dev: /usr/kde3/lib/libkio.la
user@virtualone:~# locate kdewidgets.la
/usr/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/designer/kdewidgets.la
user@virtualone:~# ls /usr/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/designer/kdewidgets.la
/usr/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/designer/kdewidgets.la
user@virtualone:~# dpkg -S /usr/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/designer/kdewidgets.la
kdelibs4c2a-kde3: /usr/kde3/lib/kde3/plugins/designer/kdewidgets.la

If your program is bombing out in configure, then you probably just need to point it to the new (nonstandard) path of the libraries.  Try appending these configure options: --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr/kde3 --with-extra-libs=/usr/kde3/lib

Ups, you're right, I badly overlooked something (most probably used apt-file to list packages, which did not work).
Sorry for wasting your time.
