The new 1.4 sflphone-kde in the PPA still carries a dependency for 
sflphone-data, which is not in the PPA but instead in the Universe component of 
the Ubuntu repository (and is version 1.3). I didn't think this would be a 
problem until I tried to start the client. The client failed to start; in the 
console window I saw:

steve@t520:~$ sflphone-client-kde
sflphone-client-kde(32561): Communication problem with  "sflphone-client-kde" , 
it probably crashed. 
Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not 
receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "


Then I noticed that sflphone-daemon wasn't installed. Attempting to install 
that threw an error:

steve@t520:~$ sudo apt-get install sflphone-daemon
...
Unpacking sflphone-daemon (1.4.0~ppa1~trusty) ...

 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/sflphone/ringtones/phone2.au', which is also

Errors were encountered while processing:

Using equivs, I created an sflphone-data-dummy package, configured to provide 
sfphone-data. This allowed me to purge the old sflphone-data and also install 
sflphone-daemon. I can report that SFLphone appears to operate with this 
workaround (except for video, but I will send a separate email about that). It 
would appear that the dependency for sflphone-data should be removed, and a 
dependency for sflphone-dameon should be added.
