Thanks for the advice. Thanks for the work with the kde packages too.
You guys got them done a lot sooner than I thought possible with Beta
and all. Not all agree with that but it's my opinion. Thanks.
I know how to install and agree that clean is best, too, & rpm
--rebuild does help to pack the base a bit after so much change.
I simply wanted to know why there is a req in the pkgs to use APM. I
have not used APM for years. Now, I have to install it (to use
kdevelop) even though I am not going to use apmd. If I don't need it(
--nodeps), why is it there?
Should I ask KDE or is this mdk req?
