…still I cannot update it.

The problem is with Akonadi: it does not start with MySQL 5.1.43 and does not start with the new MySQL release too.

I reported this on bugs.kde.org three weeks ago (#225333); others people confirmed this issue (#226960) and I think that Akonadi developers are working on it, logs do not help too much.

So, seems that we will skip this minor release too. Stay tuned.

Probably you already know, but I had not enough free time to write this first. Anyway the point is that the last KDE release candidate is waiting for you in [testing] ([kde-unstable] is dropped).

There are no big changes, only fixes; KDE devs want to be sure everything build and work.

If you already are using KDE with virtuoso backend, you should read this thread on arch-dev-pulic mailing list.

Have a good update!
