Can't say anything about the particular patch. But it's almost certain new kaffeine betas will appear in the kde:backports repo as soon as they're released, so you shouldn't have to endure the problem very long.
Thank you for your response. It's just that in past releases of SuSE/oS both applications were on the release DVD and both worked after the necessary additional files were installed but now, a week away from official release of 11.2, one is nowhere in sight and the other has a bug which was fixed 2 weeks ago.

BC I don't know what DVDs you had, but k9copy was not in my copy of openSUSE 11.0 or 11.1. Have a look in the openSUSE:11.1 project on the OBS if you don't believe me.
And just because a bug was fixed upstream does not mean that SUSE should start shipping untested svn checkouts. There is a reason projects have "releases" and encourage people to stick with the releases unless they know what they are doing. Who knows what else changed in kaffeine svn besides your bugfix??? IIRC the version freeze for 11.2 was more than two weeks ago, and the shipped version of kaffeine is the most recent release. You can't ask for more than that. And anyway as far as I can tell the patch is not important enough to justify worrying about when a release is looming. Just wait for an updated version to appear in KDE:KDE4:Backports or wherever some time after the 11.2 release, or even better, start packaging it up yourself and make it available for others.

You are correct. My comment was influenced by the fact that immediately the initial installation of oS is done I go to the Repositories in YaST and enable all the appropriate ones after which I search for, and install, all the additional applications not installed by default. Hence my association of k9copy with the installation process of oS - and seeing that k9copy is not listed in the Software Management list prompted my asking about it and if it will be available when 11.2 is finally released (?next week).

The plain k9copy is old, I installed the source for kde4-k9copy-2.3.1, downloaded the latest k9copy-2.3.3.tar.gz from source-forge into /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and then changed the version to 2.3.3 in the spec file then built it with rpmbuild -bb kde4-k9copy.spec and I now have the latest k9copy that works very well.

Dave, I saw today that k9copy (2.3.3) is now visible as an installable application in YaST's Software Manager for 11.2. I tried to install it but hit the dependency brick wall which "cannot be resolved": something called "*vamp*" is required. Did this come up when you 'complied' k9copy as per above and, if so, how did you solve it, please?

Of cause, you need to install all depending packages. You might add the packman 11.1 repo temporarily, and use zypper si vamps-..., this should take care of the missing -devel packages. Disable that repo after successful operation. For other issues, just post (up to) the last 30 lines of the rpmbuild command and we'll see...
Thanks again.
