It's in the librapi2-tools package. http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages is better than the local package search. > > > > Does the message "no synchronizer found for..." come from raki ?

Refer back to my older mail about pinning if you want to get certain things from sid. You need a dccm, either the vdccm you have from synce-kde, or odccm from sid. You also need synce-serial. Run synce-serial-config first. Start whichever dccm you want to use, vdccm has to run as your user, odccm has to run as root. Actually if you've got odccm from sid it has a bootscript and will already be running. Then run synce-serial-start. If all goes well this gives you a connection. The reason raki worked was that it runs vdccm for you. Try pstatus or pls from librapi2-tools, if you're using the old versions they may be prefixed synce- If this works you have a connection. You cant get further unless this works. To sync you need multisync 0.82, and synce-multisync-plugin, with libmultisync-plugin-evolution and librra0-tools. I havent done this for a while, but I think you first need to run synce-matchmaker create, then fire up multisync and create a new sync partnership.
