Okay. I get it. But wouldn't it be possible to, say, let KMail depend on only a major KDE release (2.2.1, for example) and not on a single Debian sub-release of it (-x)? > >�Actually, right now the problem is that KMail hasn't gotten > > through to testing yet but if the current KMail package depended > > on kdelibs=2.1.2 and kdebase=2.1.2 then these upgrades would be > > held back, too, right? > > How about this everyone... �if you want something stable..use > stable and don't use testing. Well, you know as well as everybody else that potato (stable) is quite outdated now. And for a desktop machine that's not really mission critical testing is _the_ perfect choice of all distributions because you can always be close to the cutting edge while still having a considerably stable (which means basically usable) system and not having to compile everything yourself. The real problem here, though, is not that users complain about their system being a little unstable but that the developers of KMail are being bug-spammed. So there _is_ a problem that deserves fixing (IMHO) so maybe we should talk about it. > I am not going to put in hacks to make things work for testing. > �That's just not the right way to go about things. I don't really get why this would be such a dirty hack. P.S.: I'm quite new to Debian so maybe I don't have a clue. P.P.S.: I _REALLY_ appreciate your work, especially as a new Debian user. This distribution rocks and since I'm using KDE quite a lot you are an important part of it. - -- - -M - ------- Magnus von Koeller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------ Georg-Westermann-Allee 76 / 38104 Braunschweig / Germany Phone: +49-(0)531/2094886 Mobile: +49-(0)179/4562940 lp1 on fire (One of the more obfuscated kernel messages) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7/AXrUIvM6e6BgFARAulvAJ9BnRoFpIFIfVQBs+0Uh5Tc1q0sAQCgv3wI KimNoQIN4Ah7GFOJiY8KoMU= =VvkN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
