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 Wouter Deconinck 2008-12-06 22:29:59 CST 
Due to their dependence on kdelibs4c2a (and not kdelibs4c2a-kde3) it is not possible to install kde3 packages that are currently not in the kde3 ppa repository.  This problem occurs with:
  keep: Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.8-1) but it is not going to be installed
  kile: Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.9) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: konsole but it is not going to be installed
        Recommends: kdvi but it is not going to be installed
  kuickshow: Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.8-1) but it is not going to be installed

There might be other programs that have this problem, but I don't know how to do reverse dependency searches on not-installed packages.
Comment 1 Timothy Pearson 2008-12-12 14:52:27 CST 
Uploaded keep and kuickshow, but kile is giving problems and has been reassigned to bug 11, on which this bug depends.

Comment 4 dzsabor 2008-12-17 17:00:50 CST 
Please also add -kde3 version of ktechlab.
Comment 5 Timothy Pearson 2008-12-19 03:42:46 CST 
Digikam and associated libraries are now up and tested working.

Ktechlab will be coming shortly
Comment 6 dzsabor 2008-12-19 10:19:34 CST 
Please also add keybled and kcpuload.
Comment 7 Timothy Pearson 2008-12-19 14:28:15 CST 
kcpuload-kde3 is up.

ktechlab is almost up; look for it by tonight.

keybled FTBFS straight from the Ubuntu archives, so I will not be able to deal with it for quite a while.
Comment 8 dzsabor 2008-12-27 11:22:29 CST 
Please also add ksensors.
Comment 9 Andreas.vonRueden 2009-01-10 17:08:28 CST 
Please add kphotoalbum. Thank you in advance!
Comment 10 BryanFRitt 2010-06-15 14:41:59 CDT 
compiz kicker, compiz pager, and qalculate-kde also have problems related to this.
Comment 11 Calvin Morrison 2011-07-09 23:18:18 CDT 
Moved this to the ubuntu specific section, as it deals with dependancy resolution for Ubuntu. Hopefully we can get this packaging cleared up smoothly :)

Comment 12 Enkidu 2013-04-25 16:18:53 CDT 
Quite a few programs (tork, kaudiocreator, etc.) need this and related dependencies. It already exists in Trinity, but these programs are looking for the old kde3 version, not the tde.
Comment 13 Timothy Pearson 2013-04-25 16:25:43 CDT 
Marking as duplicate of Bug 411 as additional information is available in that report.  Essentially, in order to keep up with modern Linux systems and services on those systes, the TDE ABI has diverged too much for this simple fix to be a viable solution.  Programs compiled against KDE 3.5.10 will not run on TDE R14 and above, although those same programs can be ported (a simple process) to TDE and recompiled against TDE, at which point they will again function.  See Bug 411 for details.
