The sql devel libraries required by kdebase-devel (or kdelibs-devel, cannot remember now)? Since Guillaume provided a patch to Laurent, they have been split up, and you do not need the sql devel libraries for whatever you used to need it for. This happened because someone stopped complaining and made the effort ... It does not mean that things will not be done if you do not provide a patch, or that they are guaranteed if you do, but doing the work for someone else makes it much easier. > This has been a > problem in Mandrake for a long time.
