impossible to use deKorator because of dependencies

[gnomek]

I'd like to use deKorator window decoration but I can't install kwin-style-dekorator. 
There is problem with dependences. It wants to remove kubuntu-dekstop and kde-window-manager.

Can developers make a package without such dependency? It is very bad that such limitations are created.

Please report to debian, they introduced that relationship:

* Add Breaks against kwin styles which wouldn't work with this latest
kde-window-manager release:
- kdeartwork-theme-window (<< 4:4.9.5)
- kwin-style-qtcurve (<< 1.8.14-2+)
- kde-style-bespin (<< 0.r1552-1+)
- kwin-style-crystal (<< 2.2.1)
- kwin-style-dekorator
- kde-style-skulpture

Changed in kde-workspace (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid

Workaround

A workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...942/comments/3

Workaround: Install the kwin-style-dekorator manually - unpack the theme and install the files:

/usr/lib/kde4/kwin3_deKorator.so
/usr/lib/kde4/kwin_deKorator_config.so
/usr/share/kde4/config/deKoratorthemes.knsrc
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kwin/deKorator.desktop

Seems to work - with the 'buntu 14.04 & KDE SC 4.13.3.





More

The kwin-style-dekorator can be downloaded with the command:

apt-get download kwin-style-dekorator

man apt-get:

download
download will download the given binary package into the current directory.

With the file manager (Dolphin) right click the .deb package > Context menu: Extract > Extract Archive Here, Autodetect Subfolder. Move to the subfolder (at here kwin-style-dekorator_0.5.1-1ubuntu3_amd64). Right click the data.tar.xz > Context menu: Extract > Extract Archive Here, Autodetect Subfolder.



Copy the four files to the right places - with the help of the Root actions service menu ( http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php...?content=48411 ) if you don't want to use the cli.
