Description gentoouser 2010-07-13 23:04:34 UTC

Just quick and dirty:

Several ebuilds like kde-base/kolourpaint, or app-editors/kile stopped showing icons on their buttons since a few months.

Result was comparable to attachment with id=172707 on Bug #172707
(finally as a google result on the error of kolourpaint if started through console: "kdeui (KIconLoader): Error: standard icon theme "oxygen" not found!")

emerge kde-base/kdebase-data
fixed the "global" iconproblem and all the icons started to be seen nice again!


Maybe this behavior is expected, because i never felt to install following packages?
 * WARNING! Your system configuration contains neither "kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta"
 * nor "kde-base/kdebase-startkde". You need one of above.

So maybe we should have all kde apps by default depend on kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta ?

Comment 5 gentoouser 2010-09-09 00:09:24 UTC

I dont know what kdebase-runtime-meta does provide in addition to icon themes, and (the most important question) how many kde-apps do use that standard icon theme "oxygen".

Shurely that would be a overkill, just to add kdebase-runtime-meta to all kde-apps we want to install under other environments such as gnome!

Someone who understands about dependencies under kde-base should think about other/smaller packages who only provide icon themes such as oxygen and decide about this political question in regards to ALL packages!
kde-Maintainers know why they didnt make kdebase-runtime-meta as global dependency and just output a warning: Hopefully they thought about another solution, but it just did not arrive the package maintainers of kolourpaint and okular?

In my opinion your recommendation is only a temporal solution and should be the last way!

sorry, i did not want to mark the bug as RESOLVED, just to append "NEEDINFO"

Fixed by eclass change (all packages using kde4-base.eclass now have a runtime dependency on oxygen-icons).
