What are the differences between specifying "kde" and "kde-stable" in my apt sources.list file? If I list "kde", (I'm running 8.2 with KDE 3.2.2) I see in Synaptic some minor point upgrades to many kde packages. I believe "kde" references the SuSE supplementary repositories. "kde-stable" seems to pull down a May 1 build of the various Kontact rpms. I can't figure out where these builds are coming from (and I'd like to know before I install them!) I ask because the Kontact web page says 0.8.2 is released with KDE 3.2.2, but when I do an "About..." in Kontact, I get 0.8.1., even though I have KDE 3.2.2 installed. The Kontact changelog indicates there were many bug fixes included in 0.8.2. Frankly, Kontact krashes (sorry...) a little too often right now, so I would like to upgrade to the latest stable release, if possible. Thanks!

Have a look at the source :) http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/aptate.conf Look for distribution id="suse82"

component kde refers to: <component> <name>kde</name> <url>ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_8.2</url> </component>
"kde-stable" seems to pull down a May 1 build of the various Kontact rpms. I can't figure out where these builds are coming from (and I'd like to know before I install them!)
and the one for kde3-stable refer to ../../x11/kde/stable This one does not make it much clearer :( This is the mirror of ftp.kde.org

Mine suse-8.2 kde-3.2.2 kontact runs very stable. I don't which version that is though. Hope this helps. -- Richard

I don't have acccess to the machine right now. For the moment, you can check with 'apt show <pkg> or apt showpkg <pkg>' what kontact you have installed. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
Hi, Richard, Did you rebuilt perl-XML-LibXML (-rb build) for 9.1? In my case it do not installs properly. Or you have installed it from SuSE distro? I am mirroring whole apt repository on my local PC, and currently simply cannot run aptate because of perl-XML-LibXML problem. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************
