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 Julius Schwartzenberg 2010-08-22 09:06:23 CDT 
Some packages do not have a provides attribute yet, which causes apt and dpkg to think there are dependency problems that are not there.

Every single -kde3 package should have a provides attribute for the package name without the -kde3 suffix to solve this problem.

This should not cause conflicts with the KDE 4 packages. because applications only compatible with the KDE 4 version of a package should specify they depend on that specific version.

For the konqueror-kde3 package, this is already done correctly.

Is this report still valid?
Comment 2 Julius Schwartzenberg 2013-07-11 13:21:28 CDT 
Since binary compatibility was broken, this can only work on an app per app basis when interaction is done by other means (such as through the command line). This means the bug is indeed invalid now.
