Er, well how about that. When I last looked at the situation it was so. But no, this flies in the face of that: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache showpkg skipstone Package: skipstone Versions: 0.7.1.20010325-1(/var/lib/apt/lists/pandora.debian.org_%7erobot101_mozilla_Packages) 0.7-2(/var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.direct.ca_pub_linux_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages) So it seems that the unofficial packages have now become official. (Either that our I'm out of my tree, and it was there all along, and the only issue was that the *latest* skipstone was only available from http://pandora.debian.org/~robot101/) OK, I'll have to see then if this can be included. > Well, just installing konq. itself involves installing kdebase / > kdelibs.

So, maybe including > konq. isn't a good idea. Hm, I see your point. Well, I'll have to downgrade my skipstone to the latest Debian sid version and see whether it is suitable, then.
