I have just read another thread in this same list stating that the problem
may arise from compilation flags which do not apply to AMD K6 CPUs. There are
new debs for all kdenetwork packages. I have installed kmail-2.2.2-8 and
kppp-2.2.2-8 on my AMD K6 and now they work fine. (well the latter has a
problem that I will mention in a separate thread because I think is not
related to the topic discussed here).
Thanks to Daniel Stone (the maintainer for these packages) for fixing this
problem.
