Hi.

KDEPIM upgrade to 21.08 in Debian Unstable should be possible, unless
you rely on Digikam. digikam-private-libs still needs a rebuilt.

Did anyone update? Do you also see a blank settings window in KMail?

If so you can help by researching whether there is an upstream bug
report at https://bugs.kde.org. Also you can try to gather debug output
with kdebugdialog5 and running KMail on console, if you have the time.

I may look closer into this as well, but at a later time. So if you have
time to preempt me, please go ahead. Please report for findings here for
now.

The settings windows of KOrganizer, KAddressbook and Akregator open just fine… it appears to me that there is a visual change. The menu to select
the section of configuration is on a white background now and looks a bit
more modern in a way. I see part of that white background in KMail
settings window, so maybe the positions are off.

Best,

Yes, i did

Yes, i see it.
In spite of everything, kmail works perfectly, so I too will check better when I will have more time.

Hi all,

Did anyone update? Do you also see a blank settings window in KMail?

I did some experiments:

* frameworks 5.85 (OBS) with kmail from sid (compiled against frameworks
5.83)
black windows
* installed kmail from my OBS (downgrade to -1~np1) which is compiled
against frameworks 5.85 and running against 5.85
settings window shows up fine


Can those of you who see this problem, please try the kmail package
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/npreining:/debian-kde:/apps2108/Debian_Unstable/amd64/kmail_21.08.0-1~np1_amd64.deb
(for Debian_Unstable, for testing use Debian_Testing)
It should be installable as is.

That would give tests with
kmail compiled against frameworks 5.85 but running at 5.83

If that fails, then I suspect a bug in 5.83 and suggest we upload 5.85
ASAP.

Best

Norbert

Hej,

I was running Frameworks 5.85 from experimental and kmail 21.08 from
unstable (compiled against 5.83) and I got the blank window.

With Norbert's kmail version compiled against Frameworks 5.85, the
settings window is back to normal.

If that fails, then I suspect a bug in 5.83 and suggest we upload 5.85
ASAP.

Agree.

I first upgraded my version 5.83 packages to the ones in unstable:
aptitude safe-upgrade ~i~V5.83.0 -t experimental

Started KMail and settings window still didn't work. I did it without logging out or anything, so there's a reasonable chance the 5.83 versions were still
in use.

I downloaded only kmail_21.08.0-1~np1_amd64.deb and after a reboot, so 5.85
was surely in use, I did 'sudo dpkg -i kmail_21.08.0-1~np1_amd64.deb':
[sudo] password for diederik:

And now KMail's settings window does work :-)

aptitude safe-upgrade ~i~V5.83.0 -t experimental

In Experimental.

logging out or anything, so there's a reasonable chance the 5.83
versions were still in use.

Hmm, here KMail after installation as above just didn't start as it
didn't find some library symbols. But it could be that this was related
to the library mentioned above, so yeah, could be that some other 5.83 libraries were in use.

Ciao,

You're absolutely correct.
I mentioned it as I saw various 5.83 programs/libraries and you apparently already had some programs from Norbert installed.

But it could be that this was related to the library mentioned above, so yeah, could be that some other 5.83 libraries were in use.

As mentioned above, that was my 'suspicion' (from the output you posted earlier).

As a quick workaround, if I use kmail from within Kontact, I can access all kmail settings via the Kontact setup dialog.
