[steve <snswatman@gmail.com>]

Package: kpat
Version: 4:18.04.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I updated my system, after which kpat would not start.

kpat: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5NewStuff.so.5:
undefined symbol:
_ZN7KNSCore6Engine15signalErrorCodeERKNS_9ErrorCodeERK7QStringRK8QVariant

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I removed kpat, ran apt autoremove & autoclean,
i reinstalled kpat, error continues.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

no outcome Kpat stil does not start and the error remains the same.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

i was rather hoping a reinstall would get kpat working again.
