Hello,

When installing kde, on the runtime page it has qntrack listed as
optional, so I decided to install it.

The build failed and after googling I found on the qntrack bugzilla that
someone had added a patch to fix the error.

I applied the patch and still the build failed so I suppressed the warning
as we do with one or two other packages in the book.  I was then
successfully able to compile and install ntrack.

This led to a very nasty runtime error.  Namely kdeinit4 would crash on
system startup.

Based on this, I would make the suggestion that we remove the link to
ntrack from the page to save anyone else from thinking that this package
is okay to use patched.

It is used to gather solid state networking information, but unless a
proper patch is ever produced it is just not worth having it listed.

Regards,

Christopher.
