I don't know if this bug is still valid, but I've created a ppa with
kaddressbook replaced with 4.3.5.
it's not perfect yet, because it needs the localization from 4.3.5, so
it's in english.

A ppa maintained by the interested people is the best way to address
this.

I don't want to begin the discussion again, but I disagree with Scott
Kitterman.
For old users, kde 4.4 kaddressbook is useless as it lacks
functionality, and the data created with 4.3 version is not fully
usable.
For new users, the bugs and incompletness of the application damages the
image of
It's too late to remove it. It's in the release. The lack of localization is
enough to make the 4.3.5 PIM unsuitable for the main archive.

I tested overwriting kaddressbook.mo and kabcommon.mo in kde4-l10n-es
using the ones from kde 4.3.5, and with this the localization is ok.
I'm almost certain (but haven't tested it yet) that replacing the
kaddressbook LC_MESSAGES in the source of each kde4-l10n-xx would make a
right localization,
Hi, I've compiled a while ago 4.4.2 kdepim packages using 4.3.5 using
Kumaran Santhanam instructions for rolling back to 4.3.5 kaddressbook,
and right now I'm recompiling 4.4.5 ppa packages.
Is there someway of replacing for later sub releases of lucid as a bug
fix? I can try and get a diff from
I was able to compile Kontact 4.4.2 with the stable address book from 4.3.5.
Could the Ubuntu team include this instead of the unstable upstream version?

Scott: First, let me thank you and all of the contributors for your hard
work. I while I am not a software developer, I have made good use of
the Kubuntu team's contributions for quite some time.
Using this defect report as an example, one challenge the Kubuntu
distribution faces is integrating
Amarok 2.0 was a bit different, I think, in that we weren't forced to
upgrade. Amarok is released by itself, tied to nothing, and we would
have had no trouble supporting it for the timeframe of Jaunty. We
didn't, because there was a push to get KDE3 off of the Live CD. We
didn't make this goal
I'd add that kdepimlibs doesn't promise binary compatibility from one
release to the next. It would not be surprising if you needed KDE4.3
kdepimlibs too. Quite a number of other KDE packages also build depend
on it, so it gets very complex, very quickly.

Your concern for the users of Kaddressbook is numbing.
Are you even willing to help find a remedy to the issues that you have

at the very least), this has nothing to do with missng concern, but everything

Actually reading previous comments would answer all your questions.
In regard to your last statement, we are pretty much at the mercy of the
KDE PIM team in this regard.

I thought Kubuntu 10.04 was supposed to be an LTE? How can it be that
with an obviously incomplete PIM? The whole point of labelling this LTE
kinda falls flat if something is allowed into the release that even the

Because of the way Kaddressbook is built out of the kdepim source there
isn't a reasonable way to do this. The only solution I can think of is
to look at KDE SC 4.5 development and if these things are implemented,

No. In this kind of case your best bet is to try and build it for
