I will redo my patch using quilt. Ity will enlight were is the fix. It is returning an exception if file are corrupted > As far as I can see, there is no reason to keep a separate metakit > package when the only usage in the archive is in akregator. There are three reason: - you do not ship mk4dump that is useful for diagnostic - you duplicate code and this is bad for a maitenance point of view - upstream is more willing to help if we can use directly the library as a shared object and get some bug case using dump utility > There is people starting up upstream in finishing the long term fix, and > I'm sure they would welcome your help. I am not interested with akonadi, and I dislike the need to mysql, when the future will be nosql... I loved kmail using plein old mbox file as strorage but I really dislike to store in sql engine.
