[opensuse-kde3] Leap 15 kdegraphics-kpdf missing pdftools_any dependency?
All, First KUDOS to getting the KDE3 build done for 15! That is fantastic. I hadn't checked lately and saw the latest thread and then went and checked and sure enough -- it was built and ready to go. The only hickup I had during install was kdegraphics-pdf complained about a missing dependency 'pdftools_any' ?? I checked and the same dependency is there in 42.3, but no error was received on install. I suspect the 'pdftools_any' means any pdftools as there is no package named pdftools_any, but there is a texlive package with a similar name. Also, I was attempting a minimal install (I have 15 on a VM) and kdm pulls in kde4 and plasma libraries and the plasma icon themes. Does anybody know why this is? -- David C.

Whatever the issue, it does NOT affect kpdf -- it works just fine (I did install mupdf, but I don't think that has anything to do with whether pdftools_any are available) When I get 15 on a hard disk (outside virtualbox with more than an 8G space), I'll look at the srpm and see if I can find out what it is looking for and why. If anybody knows -- let me know. So Whoop! Damn it is good to see KDE3 on Leap15! -- David C.

For months I've been seeing complaints about missing poppler-tools dependency, so keeping the old poppler-tools locked where already installed.

TW zypper won't install kdegraphics3-pdf because nothing provides pdftools_any. Installing with 2 (break) results NAICT in a normally working kpdf.

:-D I'm expecting before next year to upgrade my main system from 42.3 to 15.0, and jump from KDE3 to TDE then, if I don't first see some existing KDE3 bugs resolved-fixed, https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1077190 in particular, instead of seeing resolved-wontix KDE3 bugs staying that way.

That's what I chose. Break the damn thing, I'll fix it later -- but it worked fine :)

That is senseless crap, and not just for KDE3 bugs. I've had a number of bugs closed in the past year or so (I posted to the suse list with the complaint). Bugs just sit there until they figure they are old enough to just slap a WONTFIX them -- which, as I put in my list post, begs the question: "If you are not going to fix them, why the hell should I file them to begin with?" Honestly, I like TDE, built it for years, but if I had my choice, we would put the openSuSE KDE3 on github and maintian KDE3 without the tqtinterface layer and all the name-changes from k/t. (I was there when TDE did the huge rename push and it always struck me an a huge unnecessary effort -- which ultimately was unnecessary since KDE -> Plasma and there is no longer the conflict to begin with) Further with the name changes, any kde package that isn't part of the TDE offering has to be ported to run on TDE due to the k/t rename issue. (though slavek has a pretty good auto-converter that helps) The current openSuSE patch set is good. It would make a great baseline for kde3 on github. Then it's just a matter of cherry-picking the additional patches that may be wanted and you have a solid, updated 3.5.10. (or 3.5.11) KDE3 has been a blessing. The fact that is doesn't change is more an asset than anything it lacks. Just to be able to work without the distraction of daily (if not hourly) bugs being discovered is a incredible benefit. If there was a way buildservice could be used in as user-friendly way as github, then there wouldn't be any need to move anything, but I've always found the changing packaging requirements and the build service web interface hard to deal with. (I may just not use it enough, but it just seems to lack the collaboration that github provides) Either way, I'm impressed as heck with out KDE3 devs here. Building on 15 is just great. I did my install, had it up and running in no time. Kicked all the tires (I don't use kdepim, so I didn't test that), but everything else was good ole kde :) -- David C.
