> hth, > James Thank you James, but this is a system which has been updated regularly, at least once a week. The only exception being KDEPIM which was masked as advised by the maintainers for those who found Kmail2 unsuitable for their systems. So, on this system I've stayed with 4.4 as advised here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE/KDEPIM-4.7_upgrade After all these years, this is the first time that 4.4 has come up with a blocker, hence my email to this list. -- Regards, Mick
