Details

Description:

On the component chooser for text editors, in kde, I have an empty drop down list of editors.
Meanwhile, kwrite and kate are installed in the system, and both when runned give the following: "A KDE text-editor component could not be found. Please check your KDE installation."
Searching a bit , through the internet , the proposed "dbus-launcher kwrite" fix, didn't work. First appeared after last kde upgrade.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
kde 4.8.2 latest packages from official archlinux


I have send also the bug report upstream to bugs.kde.org, in the case that the bug is from official sources, and not related to kde archlinux builds.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Both kwrite and kate depends on katepart. Probably something was wrong in the user's system.

I tried so many thing. And not the obvious.
Reinstalling kdebase-katepart solved the issue.

Thanks
