Description Michael 2009-02-08 13:37:23 UTC

If you have the useflag 'dailup' set on knetworkmanager then it wants to pull kppp-3.5.9 explicitly, which then wants to pull kdelibs-3.5.9 which blocks kdelibs 4.2.0 =)

Simply patching it to user version 3.5.10 should already help. kppp also has a 4.2.0 release and I will check later if it works together with knetworkmanager.

Reproducible: Always

knetworkmanager is KDE3 application and it explicitly require:

=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5*
and
=kde-base/kppp-3.5*

Comment 2 Michael 2009-05-27 15:50:06 UTC

I know it is a KDE3 application. The problem is not 3.5* but 3.5.9, which blocks anything KDE4.

kppp pulls explicitly 3.5.9

3.5.9 <-> 3.5.10

I did not check since I reported this bug because I switched over you wicd network manager.
