I finally got around to upgrading my workstation to 17.03. Everything seems to be working except System Settings -> About System
When I click on the About System, I get the following error:
When I do an apt install kcm-about-extended, I get the following error:
If I try to install libkwinglutils9, I get the following message:
Since that seems to be removing things that I may not want removed; hence, I aborted the operation.
I also saw on my system that libkwinglutils10 is installed. In addition I saw a couple of threads related to an "About System" problem, but they didn't seem to match my experience.
I think something went haywire in the upgrade process. I orignally started with Maui 1 and have been upgrading all along.
Is there a way to get my system properly upgraded to 17.03 from my current state without having to install 17.03 from scratch?
When I click on the About System, I get the following error:
Quote:The shared library was not found.
Possible reasons:
* An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
* You have old third party modules lying around.
When I do an apt install kcm-about-extended, I get the following error:
