Kopete upgrade pukes..avoid it. (New SuSE pkg)
An FYI to anyone running SuSE and that uses Kopete. The current (0.6.1) pkg on SuSE's ftp site dies horribly when connecting to AIM. It doesn't work. This pkg must have skipped being tried out by the person who made it. I would avoid it if you like using this program. I would stick with 0.6.0 which does work. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I'll tell you what you should see.

# rpm -qi kopete | grep Vendor Version : 0.6.1 Vendor: SuSE Linux AG, Nuernberg, Germany # I can actually successfully connect using SuSE's kopete 0.6.1. What doesn't work is starting a chat, or sending a file, or anything of that sort. (What version of QT/KDE are you using?) This is no doubtedly weird. I guess I'll go back to checking Kopete out of CVS and compiling my own. I'll package an RPM that works if enough people request one. Or perhaps it's simply Kopete 0.6.1 that doesn't work... I wouldn't be surprised, as Kopete is the most unstable KDE application I have ever come across.

There is a kopete-0.6.1 version (suse-8.1) in the extra apt component. This one comes from the apps.kde.com site. Does it work better? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Nope. I can't get any 0.6.1 pkg to work right and it pukes on xml2 and xslt when compiling. It says these .so's are not there when they clearly are and it saw them when the configure script was run. They just puke when it comes to compiling against them. I think 0.6.1 is more broken then some would believe. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..

From: http://kopete.kde.org/ Kopete AIM has now been fixed and a new release has been issued deemed 0.6.1a. It's available on the download page. Binaries will come in slowly, so please be patient. Thanks to all the binary packagers for dealing with a re-release so soon! If this does not help report the bug at the mailinglist: kopete-devel@mail.kde.org -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Ah, it works! Now I'm curious how stable it is... Semi-direct link to SuSE 8.1 RPM: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kopete/kopete-0.6.1a-2suse81akc.i586.rpm

Hm.. didn't notice there were two Kopete RPMs up at the APT repository. Looking through the list: suse81/extra: -kopete-0.6.1-1.i386.rpm suse81/kde: -kopete-0.6.1-1.i386.rpm APT must have installed the one from suse81/kde.
Does it work better?
Oddly, enough, no. Still the same exact behavior, i.e., can't chat, send file, etc.
I'm using KDE 3.1 and QT 3.1. The thing is...0.6.0 works perfectly..compiles perfectly but the pkg for 0.6.1 doesn't work and it fails to compile 2 of the modules. I just reverted back down to 0.6.0 and this is where I shall stay until I give 0.7.0 a try...unless you can get the CVS to compile and all the parts work. I'd be interested in a copy of the pkg. I just personally don't have/want to spend more time on a dot release.
