Hi Giacorno, Thanks a lot for your usefull help.
I just downgraded and everything worked right, except for gaim and libofx1, that I had to uninstall manually and reinstall again due to file conflicts (in different packages: gaim-data and libofx1c102). Nothing too bad :) Seems that evolution loads everything ok, as does gnuchash, so all my important data is safe :) Regards El mi�, 02-03-2005 a las 10:39 +0100, Giacomo Mulas escribi�: > On Mon, 28 Feb 2005, Eneko Lacunza wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > First of all, thanks a lot to everyone involved in this port.
