Somehow the KDE:Extra package ended up with a link to home:Viras after
it was accepted as a new package and then when I updated my home:plater
KTrafficAnalyzer I ended up with files that I had deleted. and got very
confused. Where the link to my home:plater package came from is a
mystery but it might have something to do with the fact that I was still
linked to the home:Viras package when I linked toKDE:Extra. Can't create
links in packages that I have no maintainer rights (hopefully).
Thanks for the osc log tip, I haven't much time to read the man page.
