Many thanks Pino after yesterdays upgrade I was able to install kdepim
without removing knode.

This will be great and I really do appreciate your effort in doing this. I
have not had a chance to look at this yet (see below) and will respond when
I have had a look at it.
Sandro emailed me earlier in the week asking for help in porting knode to
Qt5. I have been looking into what would be required and I would be very
happy to help but the learning curve to manage this seems to be too steep
for me. Maybe your NNTP resource would negate the need for the porting
anyway.
Regarding kmail after the update I can no longer access my gmail IMAP
account. Looking at the akonadi messages I am seeing
"org.kde.pim.kimap: sasl_client_start failed with: -4 "SASL(-4): no
mechanism available: No worthy mechs found"
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket::startClientEncryption: cannot start handshake on
non-plain connection"
and when looking at gmail account settings all the connection options are
greyed out.
Could it possibly be due to a missing XOAUTH plugin?
I have tried to install sasl2-bin but this wants to remove :
dolphin4 kde-baseapps-data kdepim-doc kpart-webkit ktnef libgeos-3.5.1
libkcddb4 libkcompactdisc4 libkonqsidebarplugin4a libmikmod3 libqmobipocket1
libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-net1.2 python3.6-2to3
some of which I expect are needed.
Also kleopatra self test is failing at scdaemon with:
The GnuPG configuration self-check failed. Error code: 1 Diagnostics:
gpgconf: error running '/usr/lib/gnupg/scdaemon': probably not installed
scdaemon:Smartcards:/usr/lib/gnupg/scdaemon:0:0:
I have tried installing scdaemon but it wants to remove the same packages as
sasl2-bin above.
