Comment # 2 on bug 1065847 from Wolfgang Bauer

kvirc itself shouldn't need libesd0 though. According to the package
dependencies, it uses Phonon.

Also, on my 42.3 system:
$ ldd /usr/bin/kvirc | grep esd
$
And it starts fine here if I delete libesd.so*. 


What kvirc package did you install from where?
rpm -qi kvirc

What phonon backend do you have installed/are you using?

What error message do you get when running kvirc in a shell? (without libesd0
installed)
