No chance to configure ktalkd Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open kcontrol 2.Go to Network - Talk Configuration Actual Results: Error message Additional info:
This isn't merely a kcontrol bug; it's a bug in the packaging of ktalkd. The ktalkd package has libkcm_ktalkd.so symlinked to the afforementioned file, but the file does not exist. $ rpm -qvl ktalkd |grep libkcm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1174 Apr 17 08:01 /usr/lib/kde3/libkcm_ktalkd.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Apr 17 08:04 /usr/lib/kde3/libkcm_ktalkd.so -> libkcm_ktalkd-gcc2.96.so
I changed this line in the kdenetwork.spec file (removed the "."): [root@emperor SPECS]# diff kdenetwork.spec kdenetwork.spec.josiah 344c344 < %{_libdir}/kde3/libkcm_ktalkd.* --- > %{_libdir}/kde3/libkcm_ktalkd* [root@emperor SPECS]# And it adds the file: /usr/lib/kde3/libkcm_ktalkd-gcc2.96.so to the original ktalkd rpm file contents: ..snip.. /usr/lib/kde3/libkcm_ktalkd.la /usr/lib/kde3/libkcm_ktalkd.so ..snip..
Closing bugs for old packages that have no maintainer.
