Well, there is a slight delay it seems
and for the present debian testing (etch), i.e. the
upcoming stable release, there were no problems!

It is not crucial for me as I am thinking
of upgrading my home machine to debian testing during
the next two weeks.
So I am not sure it is really worth all the effort
on your side, but at least I wanted to report this
(so that for example you can put that requirement
in the corresponding files/announcements ...)

Well, I used the scripts Fabien has put at
http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/svn
This one does use
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kde-common/admin

If I remove those plugins which cause problems on KDE 3.3,
the whole compile works fine.

Many thanks for all your effort,

Arnd
