Hi.

I upgrated from KDE 4.4.5 to 4.5 two or three days ago and noticed some strange behaviors.

First, I can no longer do CTRL+TAB to switch windows, nothing happens. However the effets and the hotkeys are activated in the conf panel.

I also tried to create a new account, but I cannot login. It prompts to create a new password, but I cannot select the fields... and then nothing it just kind of freezes. Logs don't seem to contain anything about this.

Finally, following other forum threads I saw that my 'kdebase-runtime' package version is still 4.4.2 instead of 4.5. But I can't upgrade it (via apt-get or aptitude, even with dist-* or -f option).

I don't really know what do to to resolve this. Your help would be appreciated, thanks.

It was resolved deactivating the Ubuntu repository, allowing the system to install the 4.5 version of kdebase-runtime, and then upgrading other packages.

I don't understand why it upgrated (with dist-upgrade) lots of KDE packages but kdebase-runtime which was still in 4.4.2... Can anyone offer an explanation?

The Updates repository likely overrode the KDE 4.5 PPA repository.

I agree, but why didn't it prevent from upgrading other packages (assuming that 4.4* versions were the last ones)?

Unfortunately I do not know why. Perhaps updates had not been issued on the majority of packages, whilst kdebase-runtime did have an update issued.
