Just noting should anyone wonder at the 15 days, this package has been masked since (apparently) the first of December, just not last-rited. Additionally, it has been causing various problems for quite some time before that, and on the kde lists I've been recommending one of the other two backends for well over a year, now. So hopefully this will get anyone who's still on it to switch to something else rather better, and this thing can be put to rest. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
