current set-up:
Debian Lenny
KDE 3.5.10
KMail 1.9.9
KMail has been broken (i.e. unusable) since the upgrade to 3.5.10 from 3.5.9.
I have been waiting patiently for an upgrade to fix this, but in spite of two
occasions when a large number of KDE updates were applied, the situation has
if anything deteriorated.
When Lenny updated OOo to 2.4.1 OOo was broken for about a fortnight. So
should I just sit tight?
I have attempted to purge and install KMail with the following result (0), but
have so far refused the offer of so extreme a solution as that proposed by
aptitude. Particularly as, if the break is at present in Lenny rather than
localised here, I would simply get back where I am until the problem is
fixed.
What does the list advise that I should do? Sit tight or accept aptitude's
suggestion - then reinstall KDE?
TIA
