Just updated my KDE 13.04 (which had kwin-style-dekorator installed, to 13.10 (which seems to have decided to get rid of it for some reason. Now up to & including 13.04, if I wanted to install deKorator, I just went into synaptic & clicked on it and it would install without demanding to remove anything. Now under 13.10 I clicked on it & chose Install, and I get a list of things deKorator wants to remove:

Code: Select all

To Be Removed:
kde-full
kde-plasma-desktop
kde-plasma-netbook
kde-standard
kde-window-manager
kde-workspace
libkwinactive
And to be installed:
kde-window-manager-active
libkwinactiveeffects1abi4
libkwinactiveglesutils1
libkwinactiveglutils1abi3


Am wondering why suddenly deKorator has to remove both kde-full & kde-standard? Wouldn't this make KDE stop working? Or am I just being paranoid? Last thing I want to do is install deKorator & lose KDE.

This always happens when I update & choose to delete what KDE claims are obsolete programs at the end of updating instead of using the keep option, something I like always disappears.

try installing kwin-style-dekorator, seems it might have been renamed

there is a bug posted http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-bugs/2013-10/msg18523.html

That's the one I tried. Stupid me, always called it just dekorator, so forgot to add the kwin-style- in front. Sorry about that. .

Theres one thing though, I'm not the only one, so guess it's wait & see. Thanks for the answer!!!
