breakage in kdiff3

[Neal Becker]

What am I doing wrong here?  kdiff3 seems to have some new breakage:

kdiff3
kdiff3(3580) KXMLGUIClient::setXMLFile: cannot find .rc file 
"kdiff3_part.rc" for component "kdiff3part" 
Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing.
kdiff3(3580)/kparts KParts::Part::~Part: deleting widget 
KDiff3App(0x11fd7f0, name = "KDiff3App") "KDiff3App"

locate kdiff3_part.rc
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdiff3/kdiff3_part.rc

I'm the maintainer for kdiff3, so I guess I'd better fix it.  Any hints?

Seems to startup ok for me, any hints on how to reproduce that?

It's installed as 
locate kdiff3_part.rc
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdiff3/kdiff3_part.rc

This seems to be where it's looking:

stat("/home/nbecker/.kde/share/apps/kdiff3_part.rc", 0x7fffd2d697f0) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-

Uh, no it's not :)

If this is the one you saw, note that it's missing kdiff3/ after apps.

If this is the one you saw, note that it's searching in kdiff3part/ not 
kdiff3/

So I guess the most optimal option for you would be to either move that file 
in %install, or alternately, patch cmake:
install( FILES  kdiff3_part.rc DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/kdiff3 )
to
install( FILES  kdiff3_part.rc DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR} )
OR
install( FILES  kdiff3_part.rc DESTINATION ${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/kdiff3part )

Push that patch upstream if you decide to go the latter route, which is the 
route i'd recommend.
