This is true. However, the use of legacy headers should never have
caused breakage (upstream Qt still fully supports legacy headers), and
the transition is a task that upstream developers an
bug.

I'd also try passing --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3 to ./configure, since
it seems to be having trouble even finding standard headers such as

Sure, but there's no specific reason that people should know to look

KOffice is trying to install some files that it needs for KDE 3.1 (for
KDE 3.2 they were put into kdelibs).
The KDE 3.2 build for koffice is being upload now.

It's part of konq-plugins, which I can't upload until kdegames is ready.

available.

I've uploaded kdeaddons 3.2.1 to sid today (including konq-plugins), and
the fsview included works for me.

Have you got kate-plugins 3.2.1 (not 3.1.5)? If so, it shows up for me
in Kate/Settings/Application/Plugins (where you can activate it).

I personally don't know about how to avoid the perils of installing KDE apps

FWIW, I'm also in favour of including 3.2.3 rather than 3.3.0. Each new

Even without humans writing additional descriptions, a start would to be
