Description DaggyStyle 2009-05-14 19:12:59 UTC
the title says it all, when upgrading from 3.5.4 to 3.5.4-r1. many kde3.5 dependencies where dropped.
 

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 n.reyrolle 2009-05-15 20:24:33 UTC
Hi,

Don'y know if that is the same problem for me, but when I start kdevelop I get the message below, and the IDE is rather ... empty :

Unable to find plugins, KDevelop will not work properly.
Please make sure that KDevelop is installed in your KDE directory; otherwise, you have to add KDevelop's installation path to the environment variable KDEDIRS and run kbuildsycoca. Restart KDevelop afterwards.
Example for BASH users:
export KDEDIRS=/path/to/kdevelop:$KDEDIRS && kbuildsycoca

As far as I can tell, KDEDIRS is ok (/usr:/usr/local:/usr/kde/3.5), and running kbuildsyscoca does not change the result.

Please note that I have done a fresh install of kdevelop, so I can't say if that worked in the past.

I'm using KDE 3.5.9. I  did not see the end of the subject,  your problem is under KDE 4. It is the same thing ? Otherwise, I'll open an other bug.

don't know, 3.5.4 worked well both under kde4 and kde3.5, 3.5.4-r1 has removed some dependencies which probably was the cause for this.
Comment 5 n.reyrolle 2009-05-18 07:04:46 UTC
I tried to downgrade to version 3.5.0, and got no change.
Config problem ? I really don't understand ? Do you get the same message ?

Regards,

no, both problems aren't the same, as I understand it, your problem is related to plugins, mine is that after upgrade to 3.5.4-r1, there are no menu entries of kdevelop under kde4

Please post your "emerge --info" and the output of
  emerge -qpv kdelibs:3.5

comparing kdevelop-3.5.4 with -3.5.4-r1 doesn't show any dropped dependencies. The -r1 ebuild just got switched over to use EAPI-2.

[ebuild   R   ] kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.10-r5  USE="acl alsa branding cups fam jpeg2k openexr spell tiff -arts -avahi -bindist -debug -doc -kdehiddenvisibility -kerberos -legacyssl -lua -utempter"

not sure on the issue but after upgrading, depclean removed alot of 3.5 packages that apparently waren't needed
Comment 9 Karl H 2009-05-20 16:23:24 UTC
Not sure if this is related, or should be a separate bug. With dev-util/kdevelop-3.5.4-r1  When in kde 4.2.3.  I can no longer import a project in the menu:  Project--> Import Existing project. 
Comment 10 Theo Chatzimichos (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-05-24 18:21:58 UTC
@n.reyrolle@gmail.com & Karl Hiramoto: Please file different bugs
@DaggyStyle: This is a known problem for many kde3 applications, that aren't listed in kde4 kmenu. It isn't that easy to fix, and reavertm and wired are working on that. For now you can start it from a terminal with the command "kde3 kdevelop" (or any other app). The depedencies are the same and the only difference between the ebuilds is what Polynomial said.

As a side note:
@Karl Hiramoto: I can't reproduce, but please file a bug with emerge --info. I'll search it more in the meanwhile
@n.reyrolle@gmail.com: Also I can't reproduce, file a bug, and try to upgrade to kde 3.5.10. 3.5.9 is to be removed soon
