I completely agree with Eudemus. I'm running ubuntu feisty, with the 2.6.20-15-generic kernell and KDE 3.5.6. Today i installed vdccm + synce-kde + raki + ksync in order to get my ipaq2220 synced with kontact (korganizer 3.5.6). Connection works fine, i can browse my pda files from my computer, and can get info about battery status etc. However, when i want to sync appointments and/or tasks it crashes when acquiring the data. Since i have many appointments i'll post below the terminal output from starting raki to crashing on tasks syncing (i've got 5 tasks atm). Below that i'll put my backtrace. Maybe this extra info can help as well: i'm using Q.t 4.2.3 and have installed all above packages from the ubuntu repositories. That includes synce-kde 0.9.1-1ubuntu2 which is supposed to fix this bug. I hope someone can find a sollution to the problem. Concerning the suggestion of building it myself, if that still sticks, could anyone explain me how then?
