[SOLVED] KDE 4.9.1 update broken

Hello fellas
Using Mint 13 KDE 4.9 and after updating to 4.9.1 (using the kunbuntu/backports) I no longer have installed dolphin, network applet(sistray), network config tool on sys-setings, also muon apps are no longer available... It seems like something went wrong but there wasn't any warnings or something :/
How do I connect to a wifi network using CLI?
A dist-upgrade woud solve my problems or I have to install each package not installed manually one by one?
Thanks for reading and have a nice day/night ^^
EDIT: Installing kde-standard package solved the issue

afaik you should have done a dist-upgrade in the first place when trying to go from 4.9 to 4.9.1

Well, thanks... Anyways.. Why do my problem happened? Are there some logs stored when an update is done?

why the problem happened in the first place? difficult to say but i would guess that if you did a plain
apt upgrade or used mintupdate (with the custom levels 1 to 3 enabled) to perform the upgrade some dependencies weren't resolved and pieces of the system failed to update to 4.9.1 or even worst was uninstalled.
you can check the last events with

Well. Thanks. I used mintupdate levels 1 to 3 and nothing more, its the first time that this happens.
Please check the logs:

I don't find any anormal on these but the muons.
By the way I can't connect to wifi using cli, every scanning command on the Wifi-HowTo says that its not installed or not available, I'll try lan later but I'm afraid that the networking modules aren't installed of something.
I'm on kernel 3.2.0-30 but on any other kernel the problems stay.

as i was afraid the upgrade you did uninstalled large chunks of your system: just check your term.log and see all the
removing; furthermore as i said as well

that as far as i can see is because of muon: this part here

you can at this point try
and
to see if you can recover from those broken packages and then run again
i'm not entirely sure that this will recover fully the system, for that you'll need some kind of net connection and re-download one of the kde meta-packages, kde-standard is the smaller and will do the trick.
good luck

Thanks again!
EDIT: I've found the kde-standard package on the kubuntu/backports ppa but its size is 13.7Kb meaning that I need iNet for complete the install... Any suggestion or I have to reinstall the system
?
EDIT2: I managed to repair the system(I think so). Installed kde-standard package over ethernet(restarted the router not mint guilty) and everything seems to be find by now...
Wich .deb manager comes installed by default? Gdebi?

glad you sorted it out.
but remember: kde-standard is a minimal installation; as the description says
This metapackage includes the KDE Plasma Desktop and a selection of the most
common used applications in a standard KDE desktop.
meaning that probably some of the app that you lost the other day were not reinstalled by this process, the intention was to give you a easy way (through a meta-package) to fix your system. now if you see that something is missing you should, with synaptic, install the missing bits.

i think (might be wrong) that you are talking about synaptic (it's mint's package manager >> and not only mint of course)

nope, I was talking about gdebi. I have to install it from synaptic cause I was wondering if it was default on kde, I need it to install debs xD
So wich kde-metapackage is needed for a full install like the one on a vanilla mintKde?

ahh
sorry
i'm on debian and here i have gdebi-kde (you *should* have it too in main mint)
regarding the meta-packages question, it goes like this: now that you installed a higher version of kde than the one shipped with mint, you moved away from the defaults meaning that the usual setup "on a vanilla mintkde" is not possible anymore; you can either go with
kde-standard and build your own desktop (not completely because you already start from a very good foundation) or
kde-full and bring in everything and the kitchen sink.
