[Eric] Eric crashes on linux

[Joe Pimentel]

Hi Detlev,

I changed the subject just to help future searchs on the list.

I cannot simple remove packages because there is a lot of other packages
that depends on it (kdebluetooth, desktop-effects-kde, hplip-gui,
system-config-printer-kde,
kaffeine to name a few).

So, I believe that I will have to try to recompile everything and
install over the packages.
But this is what I have done before, so ... I will do it again, jut to
be sure I done everything
as correct as possible...

I want to do it because I really like eric4 and want to work with it.

Tks for now. If I have some news about this I will post it here.

Best Regards,
