Ok, sorry I panicked.

Well, basically, the __register_frame_info problems. Which seems to be
preventing it from running at all, on my system.

Already covered in #31630 and #33489. Which, if I understand the
situation correctly, should be easily fixed by a simple recompile with
updated libraries and -dev packages. My only additional comment might
be that #33489 applies to pilot-xfer as well as read-ical.

Ok, good reason for splitting them out. But when I did an "apt-get
install pilot-link" to get the potato version, it left the old library
installed. I was just wondering if this might not be related to the
problems I (and apparently some others) are having? Especially now that
I've heard that potato's pilot-link *is* working for some. Perhaps
there should be a change in the SO name for the library if there are
incompatible changes? (If.) And/or a dependency on an exact version of
the library? *shrug*

Ah, ok, I've already downgraded back to the slink version. I'm running
a mostly-slink system anyway. I just wanted to see what was new in
pilot-link, but I can wait.
I do have a simple wishlist item for pilotconfig, but it's not a big
deal, I'll submit it through the usual channels.
cheers
