I (to my knowledge) had not been running virtuoso. I never enabled desktop search. Yet, after installing 4.4 from updates-testing, I got the warning about nepomukserver failing. And this required me to track down a directory to rename so that the warning would go away. My only point is that I wasn't running anything prerelease and I encountered a problem that an "ordinary user" would have difficulty solving on his own. It seems that this will happen when updates-testing is pushed to updates. -- Garry Williams +1 678 656-4579
