Description Keunwoo Lee 2004-02-06 03:22:39 UTC
This is a companion to Bug 115067. 
 
I am using the Fedora KDE 3.2 packages on the KDE mirrors.  It's not 
on the official Fedora mirrors, but the packager field says Red Hat, 
so I'm reporting here in the hopes that it'll be fixed by official 
release. 
 
rpm --erase --test xmms yields the following: 
 
error: Failed dependencies: 
        libxmms.so.1 is needed by (installed) kdenetwork-3.2.0-0.1 
        libxmms.so.1 is needed by (installed) kdeaddons-3.2.0-0.1 
 
Some messing around with ldd reveals that the dependency is most 
likely caused by /usr/lib/kde3/mediacontrol_panelapplet.so, which is 
part of the Kicker mediacontrol applet.  This applet is probably 
rarely used, because players like juk install their own more compact 
controller into the system tray.  In any case, it would be nice to 
package this up separately. 
 
It would be nice to package this separately.  locate mediacontrol 
gives the following list of files on my system: 
 
/usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/kcmmediacontrol.mo 
/usr/share/locale/zh_CN/LC_MESSAGES/mediacontrol.mo 
/usr/share/locale/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/kcmmediacontrol.mo 
/usr/share/locale/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/mediacontrol.mo 
/usr/share/apps/kicker/applets/mediacontrol.desktop 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/blueish 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/blueish/next.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/blueish/pause.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/blueish/play.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/blueish/prev.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/blueish/stop.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/default 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/default/next.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/default/pause.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/default/play.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/default/prev.png 
/usr/share/apps/mediacontrol/default/stop.png 
/usr/lib/kde3/mediacontrol_panelapplet.la 
/usr/lib/kde3/mediacontrol_panelapplet.so 
 
I believe these are all related to the media control panel applet.  
It should be possible to package it separately.

Comment 1 Keunwoo Lee 2004-02-13 23:10:26 UTC
Incidentally, another reason that no KDE package should depend on 
xmms is that xmms no longer cooperates with arts, due to glib 
versioning problems.  So xmms is pretty useless under a standard KDE 
configuration.

kdeaddon-3.2.3-2 has now subpackage kdeaddons-xmms. Thanks for your report
