Details

Description: the gtk-qt-engine package, used to make gtk apps look more kde-ish, installs locale files to /usr/local/share/locale and an important desktop file to /usr/local/share/applications. This conflicts with general packaging guidelines and could also result in unexpected deletion (clearing out some of the /usr/local folders) and trouble finding the desktop file, which is required for showing up in kcontrol. The standard locations in arch for these files are /opt/kde/share/locale and /opt/kde/share/applications.


Additional info:
* package version(s) 0.8


Steps to reproduce: install gtk-qt-engine from the [extra] repo, type pacman -Ql gtk-qt-engine.

the file /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kcm_kcmgtk.la contains a line that defines the libdir
at the moment it is
libdir='/usr/local/lib/kde3'

and it should be that
libdir='/opt/kde/lib/kde3'

with this line it appears in kcontrol
