Hello,
I am running Syncevolution under Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) Lucid. Today I had
the surprise to see that the latest update wanted to pull a great number
(58) of KDE packages, which are not even installed on my PC. The total
download is about 68Mb in size.
Here are the version numbers reported in the update manager:
(current) 1:1.2.2-2
(new) 1:1.2.99+20120228+SE+cb0b7f6+SYSYNC+5e0f652-2
I understand that Syncevolution now supports KDE (Akonadi, I believe),
but does a Ubuntu user really need all these packages? The latest
Syncevolution definitely wants them all, so I have delayed the update
for now.
You are pulling from the unstable repo - thanks for testing. If you want
to avoid that transition for a while, then replace "unstable" with
"stable".
I could (and mostl likely will) make the Akonadi dependency optional.
See

I am not sure how much that would reduce the download size. How much of
a problem is this for you?
