transitions from Ralph's 3.1.4 woody packages to 3.1.4 in testing
Hi, I see now that a number of 3.1.4 packages are now in testing. Yet there are a few 3.1.3 version packages (kdebase) in testing. I have been happily running Ralphs woody packages, but would like to run testing's versions of kde because I would like to install some non-kde packages that depend on a qt version that I don't have (libsoqt-dev). I have tried to dowload the source of these packages and build against my version of libqt but have had some problems (started to compile but had problems midway). I have several questions about making a switch from Ralph's woody packages to the version in testing. 1. Has anyone made the switch and are there any gotchas to look out for? 2. Should I delete Ralph's woody packages first or can I just upgrade libqt to the c102 version and install the testing packages? 3. Would it be better to hold off until all of 3.1.4 hits the testing archives or can I run with a few 3.1.3 packages without too much trouble? Thanks, John Schmidt
Re: Thinking of trying out the KDE 3.2 CVS packages.
Most things are relatively stable though Konqueror will crash occasionally, esp. on sites with Flash or Java so turn those off if you want stability. Even though things in general run faster, Orth's debs do not have the debugging options turned off so there will be some slowdown there. The new KMail is the biggest improvement IMO. Finally the threading "just works." and IMAP is improved. For some apps, you won't be able to go back to your old .kde settings so make sure and back it up if you ever want to go back.

Thinking of trying out the KDE 3.2 CVS packages.
After my battle with Aegypten and KMail for getting OpenPGP to "just work", I noticed the KDE 3.2 CVS repository on apt-get.org. KDE 3.2 sounds like it has lots of nifty new features. The question is whether it's worth the trouble to try the new packages. Are they good enough to use for typical web-browsing, email & such, or will I get crashes right & left?

Problem building qt-x11-free - missing file postgres.h
Hello, I am trying to hunt a bug in the qt packages and need to build slightly modified versions for this purpose. However, even if apt-get build-dep qt-x11-free shows that all build dependencies are right on my up-to-date "unstable" system, I cannot build the packages; they fail with g++ -c -pipe -I/usr/include/mysql -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/ postgresql -I/usr/include/postgresql/server -fno-exceptions -Wall -W -O2 -fPIC -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_PLUGIN -DQT_SHARED -I/home/pcn/debian_src/ qt-x11-free-3.2.1/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I../../../../include -I.moc/release-shared/ -o .obj/qsql_psql.o ../../../../ src/sql/drivers/psql/qsql_psql.cpp ../../../../src/sql/drivers/psql/qsql_psql.cpp:50:22: postgres.h: No such file or directory ../../../../src/sql/drivers/psql/qsql_psql.cpp:57:29: catalog/pg_type.h: No such file or directory i.e., the postgres.h file is missing. For good measure, I have verified, that I have installed the entire postgresql suite, not only postgresql-dev. But my system simply does not contain a "postgres.h" file - "locate postgres.h" only locates two postgres.html files! Will someone who have succeeded in building the qt-x11-free packages please locate the postgres.h file and tell me which package it belongs to. best regards -- Peder Chr.

Em, no idea. However, do you have a S/Mime key installed? Maybe it's just complaining about that. Most people probably do not need the gpgme-smime.so plugin.
