Bug Description

[Impact]
Due to removed keys in the configuration class the de-serialization of old touchpad settings fail which breaks the touchpad configuration.

[Test Case]
1) You need a ~/.config/synaptiks/touchpad-config.json like the one attached to the report (containing the configuration keys that cause the issue)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptiks/+bug/1102032/+attachment/3660655/+files/touchpad-config.json
2) run 'synaptikscfg load' which should show backtrace below
3) install kde-config-touchpad from raring-proposed
4) run 'synaptikscfg load' again which shouldn't crash anymore

[Regression Potential]
It disables support for the broken functions on older xservers too,
but they were removed because of lack of use.

Hello,

I've tested the trusty Xstack HWE xserver-xorg-lts-trusty;

KDE packages kde-workspace-dev libkwinactiveglesutils1 libkwinglesutils1 kde-config-touchpad are getting removed when installing the trusty Xstack with the following command;

apt-get install -V libglapi-mesa-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-trusty libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-trusty x11-xserver-utils-lts-trusty libglapi-mesa-lts-trusty:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri-lts-trusty:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-trusty:i386

After the installation you can install the packages kde-workspace-dev libkwinactiveglesutils1 libkwinglesutils again without problems.

But installing KDE package kde-config-touchpad leads to a removal of packages xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-trusty xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-trusty.

Without kde-config-touchpad, the KDE touchpad configuration is broken.

Please help!

Thanks, Bernhard

Maarten,
I looked into sponsoring this. Synaptiks looks fine and builds fine.

However, if I try to build xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-trusty I get the following issue:
sbuild-build-depends-xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-trusty-dummy : Depends: xserver-xorg-dev-lts-trusty (>= 2:1.12) but it is not going to be installed

I understand in -proposed there is:
xserver-xorg-dev-lts-trusty | 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2~precise1 | precise-proposed | amd64, i386

So it may be easier to ensure that package is updated beforehand.

Thanks,
--chris

Hey Maarten and Chris. I uploaded both packages now. The xxvi package builds fine for me is a schroot environment that has precise-proposed enabled. Given that this bug is one of the blockers for promotion to -updates I uploaded it now so that the promotion can happen quicker :)

I reproduced the crash on the -lts-saucy stack, confirmed that the fixed version works. And that installing the lts-trusty stack removes the broken kde-config-touchpad, the upgraded kde-config-touchpad installs correctly and doesn't crash.
