[Bug 381599] Re: kword fails to start

[Harald Sitter]

Well, the debug is caused by an underlying library and probably deserves
a seperate bug report.

But there is indeed something very wrong with your ksycoca4 (or rather -
was).

Reading through the log you attached you will find a lot of lines saying
"new:" or "modified:" each of those lines represents either a newly
installed (in this case most importantly KOffice) or a updated .desktop
file.

This is very concerning because it seems that something prevented your
kbuildsycoca4 from being autoexecuted (or at least prevented it from
storing its data afterwards). As far as I know this tool should be
invoked by one of the most essential components of the KDE desktop, so I
find it rather impossible that it didn't get run at all, which makes
this whole issue a whole lot more weird.

Also, I'd like to mention that I failed to reproduce this issue on my almost-stock-jaunty installation. Jonathan Thomas is now going to try with a clean jaunty installation and KOffice 2.0.0.
It is indeed possible that whatever causes this issue is not present in Kubuntu 9.04 and/or KOffice 2.0.0.
