Hi, In the KDEPIM full stack, I use only Kopete. Today I upgraded both kdepimlibs and kopete to 4.7.3. After the upgrading, Kwallet did not work properly (it displayed a totally blank window without any "wallets"). I started Kopete and immediately I encountered the error message: kopete(xxx) couldn't create slave: Unknown protocol 'file' Of course Kopete did not work with Kwallet, so I had to type my password manually. After typing the password, nothing happened in the Kopete window, and the error message I got from the terminal was kopete(xxx) couldn't create slave: Unknown protocol 'https' At first I thought there are some broken packages, but revdep-rebuild didn't help. I rebuilt kdepimlibs, Kwallet, and Kopete manually with emerge, didn't help either. I read the news (from eselect) again, found the wiki page, followed the direction althought I didn't use KMail or any other piece of software from the KDEPIM stack, it didn't work either. Eventually, I masked the packages (mentioned in the news) and downgraded kdepimlibs and Kopete to 4.6.3, and everything worked again! Just to share my short story today. And I think KDEPIM should *not* be marked as stable at the moment.
