  Yes, 3.3.2-7 brokes kmail but can't be fixed right now, sorry (C++
  transition).

Right, this is actually a bug in the kdelibs version you have. Your two
options for now are:

1) downgrade kdelibs[4, -data, -bin] to the version in testing.
2) use kontact (which embeds kmail and doesn't suffer from this bug for some
reason).

I'm surprised this works at all, as you are installing a supposedly ABI
incompatible qt that is compiled with gcc 4.0 while everything that uses it
is still compiled with gcc 3.3 (which had a different c++ ABI).

Subject: kdelibs4: kmail crashes on startup with segmentation fault

Package: kdelibs4
Version: 4:3.3.2-6.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Updating kdelibs to 3.3.2-7 breaks kmail on 3 different Linux Systems
with Debian/unstable installed and Kernel 2.6.11-mm1:
Standard kernel 2.6.11 with patch from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11/2.6.11-mm1

Going back to 3.3.2-6 or 3.3.2-6.1 solves the issue.

Thanks,
Bernhard
