kde-3.2's kmail has char-signedness problems with quoted-printable emails on ppc, which make it crash on many of those mails. A patch has been posted on the kde bugzilla, but wasn't included in beta1. I changed the kdepim-3.2_beta1 ebuild to add this patch, and thought you may want to add this to portage, even though kdepim is only marked "~x86" at the moment (works on ppc, though). What I changed : - added a test : arch ppc && epatch <the ppc patch> - added "~ppc" keyword (arts, kdelibs/base/network need it too) - added a pkg_postinst() in case of arch ppc to signal problems I had reading my ancient mail (from kde-3.2_alpha) and the workaround (basically reimporting all mails). This should'nt be a problem when switching from kde stable, as its a consequence of another reimport when switching to alpha. Patch and modified ebuild follow. This is just a suggestion, of course, not trully a bug in gentoo. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 20242 [details] The modified ebuild

Created attachment 20244 [details] The correct modified ebuild First one had errors in the pkg_postinst() part. Sorry.
looks like this is fixed in 3.2 beta2
