K3b will not load in tinycore 2.4.1

[meo]

Hello team tinycore!

I have tried to get k3b to work with the latest cut of tinycore but I only get an errormessage during bootup saying that there was an error while loading k3b. I have checked the md5sum manually to see that it wasn't a download problem. I would very much have it working in tinycore 2.4.x.

Have fun making useful extensions for tinycore,

It's Ok here now.

Thanks for the testing bmarkus and jls_legalize. I have been occupied and had not yet got around to it. 

I am glad to hear it still works, I haven't really used it in a while.

Hi again!

Since bmarkus and jls hade been able to make k3b work in tinycore 2.4.1 I had to try it again. This time I just used the download function of the application browser (before I had used the mount function) and then copied the files manually to the tce directory. Everything loaded well this time but I ended up with a command line prompt.. I suspected that it had to to with the Xorg-extension so I deleted this file and copied the older Xorg-extension from the tce directory of tinycore 2.2 where k3b always has worked. After that I rebooted tinycore 2.4.1 again and now k3b works!!!

Have fun making tinycore progress further,

expat2 is missing on the dependency list

Comment field of the info file refers to tce dependencies. This can be just deleted as there is the dep file, do not duplicate information.

BTW, why Xorg is required?

Xorg was in the dep file as there was no Xlibs_support at the time of it's creation. 

Documenting deps was standard in the beginning, before we had the dep tab in the appbrowser.  And I am sure there are a lot of extensions created almost  year ago that have old information in the info files.  Even the "current" extension guidelines post gets out of date pretty quickly. 

The major things I needed to do during this transition to one extension type are pretty much out of the way - repacking extensions for deprecated user.tar.gz, tce.installed perms, squashfs, etc.  I will push revisiting old docs and info files of mine more to the front burner now that things have settled a little on my end.
