A further thought regarding my previous post. I booted from my backup
drive on which I have a fink installed KDE 3.3.2 and Evolution 1.4
that work. Kontact crashes but KMail and Kaddressbook work. My KDE3.4
on my regular drive has a functioning Kontact but crashing KMail (on
new message) and non-starting kaddressbook. Is there a way to copy
over KDE3.3.2 packages onto my hard drive for KMail and Kaddressbook
and eliminate the bad KDE3.4 packages so that I can use KDE3.4 yet run
the earlier functioning versions of Kmail and Kaddressbook from the
Kontact3.4 version? Or without Kontact for that matter-just stand
alone? How about copying over the necessary Evolution stuff to get
that working again?
My goal is to have an info suite that has email, contacts and calendar
and while Evolution works I'd prefer the KDE Kontact suite. Either way
I'd like to have something that works.
Thanks,

I'm pretty sure you can't mix KDE3.2 and KDE3.4. You _could_ remove all
of KDE3.4 and try to set your firewire drive up as a deb source--and
thereby install the KDE3.2 packages in the "correct" way (assuming that
you saved the .deb files).
The problem with just copying willy-nilly (i.e. copying files directly)
is that you can have a setup that seems OK to the dependency engine,
but which has versions of libraries that are completely incompatible
with what Fink thinks are installed--resulting in hard-to-debug build or
runtime failures.
