Dear list,
since the missing of the package "kde-l10n-de" (which was a bug some weeks
ago), the default folders in kmail2 are set to "inbox", "outbox", "sent-mail"
and so on, but should appear as "Posteingang", "Postausgang", "Gesendete
Mails" etc.
How can I get the folders back to German rena

Dear Debian Users, imagemagick-q16 takes grabs pdf "helper" ay as default
position, and when you uninstall it, takesout gnuift and inkscape in
synaptic. Are these behaviors warranted somehow?

That won't purge $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/.default.
Debian's package installation never touches $HOME!

Hi Bob,
still trying to find out, which package is involved. However, it looks as no
one cares about it.
Seems, as we are the only two people in the world, who are using Plasma, so no
one is interested athough this is an important function.
Is Plasma dead?

Nope. According to 'man sh', it's dash. I understood that dash is a fixed bash.

Yes. And I wasn't -- it was dash.
So I:
'chsh -s /bin/bash'
'ls Do\t'
and got a tab.

I installed just libkf5plasma5 (5.23) in my 4 test VMs running Debian testing
and confirmed that it appears to have fixed the right click problem. The test
VMs were upgraded this morning.
I just downloaded the libkf5plasma5 deb file and installed it with dpkg -i.

Ahah! As root, echo $SHELL says /bin/bash. As a user, it says /bin/sh. And sh
is dash. That explains a *lot*. Maybe.
I'll see if I can find the dastardly script that does that.
Thanks

Do you know what is holding up the libkf5... transition to 5.23 in testing? I
see there are some architectures that have build problems. Will that hold up
the amd64? About half of my libkf5 files are at 5.22 and the other half at
5.23.

Good question. Another very likely error. And I'd answer it if the massively
obsolete box wasn't powered down and in the give-away bin :-)
I'll look into it tomorrow.

No, chsh changes the login shell for the user within /etc/passwd. It
