By the way do you know when people are going to stop breaking KDE? Just today or yesterday(?) Graham Wilson uploaded a new libxslt1 that broke around 47 packages including kdelibs, koffice, kopete, and various gnome and xml libs... Pretty much every time I upload new KDE debs someone yanks libs out from under it, I have ranted about this before on debian-devel in the past and the general consensus was this is a good thing... Yea, I'll believe sarge is close to release when I see it. Chris
