[Bug 154479] kdepim still in version 3.5.7 while KDE 3.5.8 has already been released and (apparently only partly) packaged

[Andreas Ntaflos]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdepim

It is probably not right to report this here, but neither is it right,
IMHO, to bug Jonathan Riddel via personal e-Mail, so I'll take my
chances here.

As mentioned [1] KDE 3.5.8 was released a few days ago and apparently
most of it has already been packaged for Kubuntu (7.04 and 7.10), for
example kdebase [2], kdemultimedia [3] and others. But kdepim [4] still
remains in version 3.5.7 (4:3.5.7enterprise20070926-0ubuntu2 to be
exact).

I highly doubt it was simply forgotten, but on the off chance that it
was I hereby issue a reminder :) Version 3.5.8 of kdepim fixes a number
of quite critical [5] or inconvenient [6] bugs and I have been waiting
for some time now to be able to fully use KMail again on my machine at
work.

I'd be interested in learning the reason why there is a hold-up with
kdepim for Kubuntu (7.10 in my case)? Do I just need to be patient or
are there any major showstoppers that are Kubuntu-specific?

Again sorry for this version-bump request.

Andreas
