    update-notifier-kde slain by Python problem

    I can't run the notifier; it gives the error:
    hobie@opus:~$ sudo /usr/bin/update-notifier-kde
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/update-notifier-kde", line 29, in <module>
    from PyKDE4.kdeui import *
    ImportError: /usr/lib/libQtSvg.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN4QCss6Parser5parseEPNS_10StyleSheetE

    Anyone know what I need to reinstall to fix that?

    I have also tried aptitude dist-upgrade and it tells me there is nothing to upgrade. My sources-list still shows intrepid.

    Thanks!

    Did you run aptitude update before you ran aptitude dist-upgrade?

    dpkg -S /usr/bin/update-notifier-kde
    update-notifier-kde: /usr/bin/update-notifier-kde
    So update-notifier-kde is that package that provided update-notifier. I think that is new today, maybe yesterday.

    locate kdeui shows lots of files. Picking a couple of interesting ones
    dpkg -S /usr/share/kde4/apps/pykde4/examples/kdeuiExamples/kcolorpatch.py
    python-kde4: /usr/share/kde4/apps/pykde4/examples/kdeuiExamples/kcolorpatch.py

    dpkg -S /usr/share/pyshared/jockey/kdeui/ui_ManagerWindowKDE4.py
    jockey-common: /usr/share/pyshared/jockey/kdeui/ui_ManagerWindowKDE4.py
    So I think jockey,python-kde4 and update-notifier-kde are likely candidates.

      Actually, I updated everything using Adept, because I remember there used to be a version upgrade option in that program. I didn't see it in this KDE4 Adept, however. Then I switched to the command line to try upgrading from there.

      Thanks for the advice, though. The dpkg -S / locate combo worked. I found that libQtSvg is part of project-neon, so I removed all of that and I am using the non-experimental version. The notifier now shows up and I will try using it.
