[SOLVED] unable to install Kate
Hi all,
first of all * happy new year * 
I'm writing because I'm experiencing problem while installing kate on my system (x64, kde)
this is what I get:
# pacman -Sy extra/kdesdk-kate
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Packages (1): kdesdk-kate-4.12.0-1

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.Is there something I have to do?
Thanks in advance

Re: [SOLVED] unable to install Kate
Thanks for the hint.
In such case I realized that all files are owned by kdebase-katepart which was NOT installed on my system (?)
installing such package, fixed the issue.
Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] unable to install Kate
I don't know enough (read, anything) about KDE and how it's packaging works. But if you are sure that it wasn't PEBCAK (and, in most cases, it is), then sure.
