Description Piotr Mierzwinski 2015-12-17 18:22:04 CET 
Description of problem:
When I try install ksnapshot using rpmdrake, when I try to check properly package I get error message like following
- ksnapshot-15.08.0-1.mga6.x86_64 (because of unsatisfactory package libkipi.so.11()(64bit))
Whereas above library is available only in Mageia 5 (libkipi11-4.14.3-1.mga5.i586.rpm), or check here:
http://pkgs.org/mageia-5/mageia-core-release-i586/libkipi11-4.14.3-1.mga5.i586.rpm.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ksnapshot-15.08.0-1.mga6.x86_6

How reproducible:
Try of installation the ksnapshot package by rpmdrake or even urpmi.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to root
2. urpmi ksnapshot
3.

Please note that this application (ksnapshot) is sometime important to report the bugs. I know I can use any replacement, but good to have it working in environment where we are working.

Reproducible:

ksnapshot has unfortunately been retired upstream, so the new spectacle package just needs to obsolete it.
Comment 2 Piotr Mierzwinski 2015-12-19 00:52:27 CET 
OK. I was able to install "spectacle" and seems it's working.

If spectacle is replacement of "ksnapshot" then good idea would be remove this package from repository or provide KDE4 version with KDE4 libraries like in Kubuntu.

Current situation (in Mageia Cauldron repository) is a bit misleading for those who have not heard about any replacement and/or didn't follow news about porting ksnapshot to KF5. I found something about successor of ksnapshot here: https://blogs.kde.org/2015/08/12/ksnapshot-next. Author described his work over "KScreenGenie", which looks very similar to "spectacle". Maybe this is the same application but name has been changed.

Anyway. Thanks for info. I hope it will helpful for someone.

Please do something with obsolete ksnapshot and you can close this bug report.

Comment 4 Rémi Verschelde 2015-12-19 05:26:00 CET 
The bug isn't fixed yet, better close it once ksnapshot is actually obsoleted. 

Regarding the name, the KDE guys changed their minds at least 3 times on the new name yeah :)

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED

Ksnapshot has been obsoleted by Spectacle in Cauldron, so this issue is fixed.
