About KDE box and kde-config show different version numbers

[jayse1966]

I've noticed that the "About KDE" box on my machine reports version 4.4.2 while kde-config --version reports 3.5.10

Im running Kubuntu 10.04.1 LTS with all updates on AMD64

All of my kdelibs-* and kdebase-* packages are version 4:4.4.2-0Ubuntu* except kdelibs-data and kdelibs4c2a which are version 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1 so i presume this is where kde-config is getting its version number from.

jayse@mercury:~$ dpkg -l | grep kdelibs
ii kdelibs-bin             4:4.4.2-0ubuntu4
ii kdelibs-data             4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1
ii kdelibs4c2a             4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1
ii kdelibs5               4:4.4.2-0ubuntu4
ii kdelibs5-data            4:4.4.2-0ubuntu4
jayse@mercury:~$

is something wrong with my system or is it normal for these 2 libs to show a different version number? Im using these repositories: main,universe,restricted,multiverse,medibuntu,goog lechrome,wine,nvidia

Re: About KDE box and kde-config show different version numbers

kde-config is part of the old kde packages, so it is only present if you are running something like KMyMoney 1.0.4 or similar in Lucid, which is using the kde3 library package.

kde4-config is what you want to use

so how would I find out witch of my packages are old kde packages that require these 2 old lib's?

Re: About KDE box and kde-config show different version numbers

in KPackageKit, select the package kdelibs4c2a, select "Required By" under the "More" drop-down dialog box, and in a few moments you will see what needs that package. Quite a number of possibilities, actually.Anything KDE that is either old, but still working, or simply ones that have not yet had KDE4 versions created by their developers
