After emerging KDE 3.4 on two different machines, found that there was a remaining reference to a KDE 3.2 file. Had to create the old directory and a symlink to the 3.4 version of the file to fix it. The dependent: Control Center, Desktop, Panels The file depended upon: /usr/kde/3.2/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/default.png Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge KDE 3.4 2. Open Control Center, Dekstop, Panels 3. See dialog complining about missing KDE 3.2 file Actual Results: Dialog was displayed saying that "/usr/kde/3.2/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/default.png" was missing. Expected Results: No dialog display. Was able to work around it like this: root@charon:andrewes # mkdir -p /usr/kde/3.2/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers root@charon:andrewes # ln -s /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/default.png /usr/kde/3.2/share/apps/kicker/wallpapers/default.png
I think this can be considered a special case of bug 40698 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 40698 ***
