Bug#317098: Fix described earlier works
I too confirm this bug. When it crashes there is no output. Strace
output also appeared to not be very useful. The fix mentioned above
does work:
If you are running Sid and have the kdelibs4 and kdelibs-bin version 3.3.2-7
installed:
1. go to snapshot.debian.net
(http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2005/05/24/debian/pool/main/k/kdelibs/)
and get version 3.3.2-6.1 of both these packages.
2. Run dpkg -i kdelibs4_3.3.2-6.1_i386.deb
It will fail to configure and give an error message about kdelibs-bin needing the later version.
3. Then run dpkg -i kdelibs-bin_3.3.2-6.1_i386.deb
and you will get a similar message that it fails to configure.
4. Finally, run dpkg --configure --pending and both packages will be configured. Kmail should now work.
