after switching packages to SC:/kdepim46 all my plasma clocks (fuzzy, digital, analog) stopped working, with the error message: "Could not find requested component: clock". looking at /var/log/zypp/history, i see that only kdepim stuff got updated, plus quite a few perl libraries from OSS, apparently as dependencies of the new kdepim libs. Which repo did you had installed before ? If you were already running with KDF with kdepim 4.6, then the switch to the new repo shouldn't have brought in any new perl libraries from OSS.
i don't understand why this should affect plasma (widget) clocks, unless those use those perl libraries, too, and are not happy with the new choices. writing to the kde-devel mailing list, i got the following reply:
You're probably missing the libclock for plasma. It's a distro problem, not a plasma one nor a kontact one. Please enquire with your distribution,
Which openSUSE version are you running ?
i'm sure this has been caused by switching to the SC:/kdepim46 repo, and that whoever prepared those repos would like to know about that. but i'm puzzled where to report this as a bug: plasma, kontact, or what?
At this moment I doubt very much if this has anything to do with kdepimlibs and/or kdepim. Neither one is influecing (afaik) the way plasma behaves.
Sorry to say so, but this is not entirely correct. Fact is the clocks use a component called "view-pim-calendar" as calendar extender. See your ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc, search for "clock". To me (a novice in terms of compiling kde4) this looks like the following: - The plasma-clock-applets want to load "view-pim-calendar" - "view-pim-calendar" is provides (AFAIK) by kdepim ergo: - SC:/kdepim46 also needs to contain the plasma-clock-applets compiled for kdepim46 or the plasma clocks wont work. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
