And here is the reply that query generated: From Colin Watson: Depending on just how old you mean, as kcalc was at one point part of kdeutils and was later split out into its own source package: <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeutils> <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kcalc> The main display here only shows Ubuntu releases that are still supported, but you can get to everything from the "View full publishing history" or "View full change log" links at the top right. Which looks like a promising starting point. > > Thanks Tim. > > Ubuntu 8.04 == KDE 3.5.9 => kcalc is from source package kdeutils > 3.5.9 => see sources in > http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdeutils/ Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
