Bug Description

After upgrading to 4.5 beta 2 kontact is now unusable.

First it was missing libraries:

jan@pc:~$ kontact
kontact: error while loading shared libraries: libkontactinterface.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

installed libkontactinterface4

jan@pc:~$ kontact
kontact: error while loading shared libraries: libakonadi-contact.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

installed libakonadi-contact4

jan@pc:~$ kontact
kontact(9468)/kdecore (trader) KServiceTypeTrader::defaultOffers: KServiceTypeTrader: serviceType "Kontact/Plugin" not found

kontact(9468)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:

The Kontact-window came up but was completely empty. The configuration-dialog showed that Kontact does not recognise any modules (akregator, mail, addressbook).

Opening aptitude and inspecting the dependencies of kontact I saw that there are two packages of all of them. Same version-number. I had to deactivate the "backports" repository and do an dist-upgrade again for kontact to start working again.

to me it says:
Could not start process for imaps.
and doesn't reach checking mail for example

I'm having a similar problem in the release of 4.5 -- how did you install libkontactinterface4?

apt-file says that libkontactinterface.so.4 is in the package 'kdepimlibs5', but when I look at the files in that package (dpkg -L kdepimlibs5), I don't see it there (in fact, the package is pretty much empty).

have the same problem, solved it by installing missing dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libkontactinterface4 libakonadi-contact4

I can verify the same issue running Akregator stand-alone after upgrading to KDE SC 4.5.

Re-installing did not fix the dependency issue, but installing libkontactinterface4 and libakonadi-contact4 did.

Found out at http://kubuntu.ru/node/6724#comment-60383 that instaling libakonadi-contact4 and libkontactinterface4 packages fixes it.

Hi
Can you reproduce the issue with the latest PIM beta 3 packages?

Should be easy to figure out, just look whether kontact depends on packages providing libkontactinterface.so.4 and libakonadi-contact.so.4, i.e. libkontactinterface4 and libakonadi-contact4. If not, the bug is still reproducible.

I could mark both libkontactinterface4 and libakonadi-contact4 as "Automatic" in aptitude without them being removed. Is that enough for "not reproducing"?.

I would like to confirm that the problem is still there, I just installed kontact_4%3a4.4.8-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1_i386.deb and need to install libkontactinterface4 and libakonadi-contact4 manually.

There have been many changes in Kubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Kubuntu version. If you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
