Before I start let me say that I am running Slackware-Current and now with KDE 4.5.5 I can really see and respect (at last!) where KDE is headed. Most of what was a sever obstacle has either been solved or has revealed itself to be a worthwhile tradeoff as it is extremely powerful and useful with all the new integration.

That said I would really prefer to not have to install KDE3-compatibility to get one of my favorite functions that appears to have been lost from v3 to v4. I am referring to the emasculation of KPackage in favor of an "also ran" Synaptic clone that is it's replacement, KPackageKit.

One extremely important function I miss is that v3 KPackage has a tab to list the complete path statement for all installed files associated with each and every installed package. I find this invaluable and daily bewail it's passing.

Am I missing something? Is there a new way to gather the same info? or am I stuck tacking on compatibility libraries so I can run a crippled KPackage?

Thanks to anyone with info and insight

At least in my version, I click on the package, at the bottom information pops up. I click the "More" button, and select "File List" from the dropdown. This shows a list of files installed by that package. It remembers this when I click on others files, so I don't have to keep doing this.

However, I am using KDE SC 4.6, so this may be a new feature in my version.

Thank You TBC,
Even if that feature is not in 4.5.5 at least now I know there is light at the end of the tunnel that is not an oncoming train. I am very much looking forward to 4.6 but will likely wait awhile until the changeover from HAL to udev matures a little in both KDE and Xorg.

I would welcome any responses you might add as to how this is working out for you so early.

There is not much in the way of problems anymore. There were some issues early on, but they have pretty much been fixed. This is probably a subject for another thread, though.
