Hi, I'm trying to find the ksnapshot utility. Has SuSE wiped it from the distribution or is it hidden in some obscure RPM? I managed to find kpackage and a few other utilities I use. Boy what a mess compared with SuSE 8.0 KDE packaging. BTW - This is a fresh install of SuSE 8.1 with all updates applied. Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
I had the same concern and did a reinstall but selected install all KDE and I got ksnapshot and kpackage so I guess you need to run up the SuSE instaler and try to identify the kde packages not yet installed. Nev Graham Smith wrote:

Hi Neville, Found it, turns out it is in kdegraphics3-extra.rpm, although it is listed as being contained in kdegraphics3.rpm in YaST package contents along with a number of other utilities which are not there as well. Dam confusing!!!! I wish whoever packaged the KDE rpms would put the correct info on what a package contains. Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------

I think you will find that KDE group has started splitting these up, as Nev mentioned, the packages were just getting too large. It is somewhat confusing finding some things now, but the KDE guys are adding more to things everyday, so that can't be bad. From what I am seeing and hearing, we are in for a lot of new and expanded stuff as KDE matures to a full 3.1 version.

All I was complaining about is that the package description is incorrect and basically letting other people on this list aware of the problem. It gets more confusing when you look at the contents of the ARCHIVES.gz which shows that ksnapshot does belong to the kdegraphics3.rpm but when you look at the actual contents with kpackage there is no sign of any real applications. The kdegraphics3-extra.rpm package details gives no indication of what programs it contains. My complaint is not that they are splitting up the packages or changing the programs contained therein but that the package description should be changed to reflect accurately what each package contains.

Perhaps this is just a packaging error on SuSE's part. I have not
encountered the problem with .debs

I just fixed the description, thank you.

KDE is becoming huge, so SuSE made a selection of packages that are installed by default. Some are missing from this, I agree. You can see all the KDE packages in a simple way: - - open YaST2 and launch the "Add/Remove software" module - - choose "Package groups" in the upper-left corner - - select the group "zzz All" at the bottom of the list - - now you have all packages in alphabetical order and you can see all official KDE packages starting with "kde" Do not check old KDE2 packages (version number 2.2.2 instead of 3.0.3 or 3.0.4) if you don't need them. KPackage is in kdeadmin3 and KSnapshot is in kdegraphics3-extra. - -- Thibaut Cousin E-mail : cousin@in2p3.fr Web : http://clrwww.in2p3.fr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9yhqrv1vqsTa1E4oRAmwrAKCGn9T1vEj/2UaqiPETpG9r188dBgCdEJJB QXVEQ41xJnf0UInq6jD2EeY= =s51T -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
